If It’s A Fact, Back It Up
November 3rd, 2008 by Click Consult
Online press releases are factual pieces of newsworthy media. They should concisely deliver a message and while it is vital that you include all of the relevant information, it is also important that you do not get carried away. With that said, a lot of press releases make the common mistake of offering perceived facts without giving ample information to back that fact up.
Clearly outlined facts, statistics and data can make a press release even more appealing to journalists and publishers carrying the potential to see a well written press release being used in many different publications and therefore driving a superb level of qualified, targeted traffic. Therefore, appealing to publishers and writers is certainly a desirable trait for any online press release.
Quotes from key members of an organisation or industry professionals can be used to highlight a point and they too make great appealing press release content. They can also offer the opportunity to back up statements or facts that are included in the press release itself without making the press release sound too disjointed or awkward.
Press releases are a unique form of content that differ greatly from other forms of online media. To be at their most effective they should include no filler and no direct marketing material because both of these detract from the overall value of the piece and may prevent many sites, directories, and media outlets from using the information provided. You should also back up any facts with the appropriate information delivering journalists and publishers with the exact information they require.
