Useful tips for write a press release
The first lines of your press releases shall include:
“FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE” (or FOR RELEASE Dec 25, 2002) and “For more information, contact:” followed by your contact information.
Craft a compelling headline. The headline makes your release stand out. Keep it short, active, and descriptive. If you don’t know how, read a number of compelling headlines till you get some idea.
Hook reader with the first paragraph. A first paragraph shall summarize the five W’s: who, what, where, when and why. In fact, most readers will give up if you haven’t “hooked” them in the first few lines.
Put the most important information at the beginning. This is a tried and true rule of journalism. Never hide golden points to the end.
Don’t sell but answer questions! Making over-inflated statements is helpless to your business. Write a release that answers questions about your business, rather than piling flowery adjectives without saying why.
Don’t say it, show it. Avoid saying something is “unique” or “the best”. Instead, show how people will benefit - i.e. save time, save money, make their life easier, etc.
‘Non- biased’ source like university professor or software reviewer is very helpful.
Provide all possible contact information including mail address, telephone, fax, e-mail and web site (especially for online business).
Proofread & Proofread! Do remember to proofread your press release for typographical errors before you send them out.
End your press release with “###” (without the quotation marks) after your last lines of text. This symbol lets the editors know they have successfully received the entire release.

LinkedIn Recommendation:
 Kay Nikookary - Marketing and Brand Specialist - Information Architect! What a perfect title for the man that knows so much about technology, execution, business strategy and how to put it all together to make huge strides for your organization. I have seen Teo at work and would recommend him to anyone seeking a dynamic speaker on the diverse and complex topic of technology, I would recommend Teo to anyone starting or restructuring their company to take advantage of technology and tap into the global marketplace. He is the ideal consultant, speaker, project leader! Teo is one of those rare gems that knows IT and can truly be the architect of your system; and yet explain it you, and others like me, that don't always understand or want to know the technology side of the picture. He is a very personable gentleman who knows his stuff and if you are considering a technology question, then you need to at least have a conversation with him - because he WILL add value for you! - August 17, 2008, Kay was Teo's client |
