Put Time On Your Side For Press Releases

posted on: June 2nd, 2010

If you've been looking into an online press release as part of your company's marketing strategy, you may already be aware that time is an important factor. The time of your press release's launch on the net can have a big impact on how successful it is. It's important to make sure that time is on your side. Time affects the success of an online press release in a few different ways: *Internet users: It is known that different groups of internet users access news, press release and social media sites at specific times of the day. They also access these sites for different reasons depending on the time of day. Talk to the web marketing specialists at Click Consult when planning your press release's launch. *Social bookmarking: If you want your press release to have the enviable coverage provided by a social bookmarking site, you need to time its release to fit in with user patterns of behaviour. Behaviour will vary from site to site. *Press release sites: People read news in a pattern. Internet users dip into press release sites in a pattern also. Judge the peak times of day to get maximum coverage, as this area of internet marketing involves identifying trends to benefit SEO and PPC campaigns. *Google News: Experts say that information is more effective when it is released to Google News in the morning, rather than the evening. People tend to like their news in the morning. It's something to think about on a broader scale as well. Research into the behaviour of sites and people should be a part of your planning for press releases.

Break PRs Down For Readers

posted on: May 20th, 2010

The internet is responsible for some massive changes in written communication. Most of the changes to the English language for the past several centuries have occurred in the last 50 years or so, and many of the written changes are happening now. While language lovers may bemoan this fact, the average business needs to embrace it for internet marketing purposes. One of the factors that every online business needs to accept is the need for brief internet communication. The average internet user simply doesn't have the patience to read big chunks of text. This has had a big effect on how you should format your online press release. Online press releases must be in a format that the internet user can scan easily. This means that in the first three seconds of clicking onto your content, the user has to be able to run their eye across your text and get an idea of whether it will be interesting to them. If your content fails this test, the internet user will simply click back and find something more interesting to do. The tricks of the trade for internet-based content include: - Bullet points, which break up the text quite nicely and set out information in easy-to-consume, bite-sized pieces - Numbered lists, which, like bullet points, break up information - Subheadings throughout the text, which act as a kind of table of contents. Any, and all, of these can be used in your online press release to great effect. Talk to our consultants at Click Consult when you want to make your press release as readable as possible.
