Know thy customer or lose thy customer

posted on: October 27th, 2009

Everyone knows how intensely competitive business is, and when you take it online the pressure increases a thousand fold. Most people have learned the great benefits of a well-written and well-presented press release can do for your business image and ranking. The A, B, C of press release writing is to not advertise or try to sell your products; instead tell the reader an interesting story that they will remember afterward. Your press release must always be factual or you will get caught out fast. Facts included may be from the past, present or future, as long as they hold in with the story of the press release and make the reader take notice. Once the press release is satisfactory, there are various ways to get your press release out there. There are many paid as well as free press release services on the Internet. If you have optimised your press release properly, the search engines will pick it up fast as well. Know your customer All the above is well and good, but it will all fall incredibly flat if you have forgotten the most crucial factor of all. You have to know your customers - you must know how they think, what they like and dislike and what will immediately draw their attention. Your whole press release must be geared up to appeal to your target market. If it is not, then your story, no matter how great, will not have the affect you are hoping for. When you know your target market you are able to communicate with them directly and tell them how your product will benefit them.

Money-making press releases

posted on: October 22nd, 2009

The press releases of today have evolved from those of yesteryear. The internet has revolutionised the press release and made it more accessible to more people and companies. Online press releases have taken preference to those in hard copy publications. This is because of the immense number of people that live their lives on the internet that get their news, their gossip and much more from cyberspace. Far more people have access to free online publications and they are far more affordable than buying magazines and newspapers. Isn’t it about time you thought about making money through online press releases? Money machine How does an online press release generate money for you and your business? The answer is simple. A press release offers you exposure, publicity and a chance to get your name out there. There are several sayings about publicity - that there is no such thing as bad publicity and that any publicity is better than none at all. The major aim of a press release is to get your company into the public eye and to make your audience aware of your presence. The more people that hear about you and read about you, the more likely they are to become paying customers. Credibility is another factor that a press release offers, providing you choose to distribute yours through well reputed media centres. Your press release can be used to announce charitable activities your company or business is involved in. You need to keep your audience up to date with all the good you are doing in order to keep ahead of your competitors. Keeping your squeaky clean name in the public eye while competitors are highlighted for poor service brings more customers to your doors.
