Not many businesses can thank their competitors for much help. If they ever do, it’s the ‘thanks for letting me win’ kind of thank-you. There are a few areas, however, in which your competitors provide you with valuable information for which you can be thankful.

Your competitors’ press releases can tell you a lot about your industry and about the workings of their web marketing plans. This information can come in very useful when you’re first thinking about online press releases for your business.

When looking at your competitors’ press releases, it’s a good idea to first of all note where they are placed. Do they tend to post them solely to their own site? Do they use press release sites? Do they post in forums or other communities? Once you’ve located them, analyse the sort of topics they focus on, and the language they use. Look at any comments they receive to gauge their success. Your competitors might not always provide a good example for your own marketing plan. Regardless, all of the market reaction you can gather can be used to help your plan.

If you’re approaching an internet marketing company to help with your online press release, they are likely to look at the press releases currently being issued in your industry.
