Hello All,
Want to attract more attention to your business???

Want to advertise and promote your services??? ...FOR FREE????
Try submitting a Press Release -
a number of you found how successful this can be when using the NRI Vegas Conference press release.
To help you out read the following tips. In addition, be sure to follow the format to a "T" - this is the accepted format for all publications.
Good Luck,
Victoria
Always check with your local newspaper to see who and how they prefer to receive press releases. Then you are comfortable that it is being received in the format they want.
For example, some may ask that you email your copy, while another requests that you forward your release through the mail.
Try to follow up within a few days after sending your press release. Once you have emailed or mailed it you lose control of what happens to your information.
It could be one of several different scenarios:

They print it (Yipppeee - but when?)

They file it away for a later date. (It is now "filler" to be used at unknown or never date)

They throw it away. (Actually, if they don't print it, it is better it met a clean disposal)

A template follows that you can adapt for your own personal use by substituting personal information.
Learn to adapt it for other press releases and future business announcements or achievements
