Leverage them. Make them an integral part of your newsroom. To get the most out of them, archive them with the most recent news release first. Consider linking your news release page to an events calendar.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Events Calendar<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>An Events calendar can showcase what\u2019s going on in your business and your community. Get visitors involved with you by showcasing where you\u2019ll be and how they can engage with you.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Plan Your Navigation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>What do you want visitors to do when they land in your newsroom? What path do you want them to take? What steps do you want them to take before they click away? For example, do you want them to fill out a contact form? Opt-in to your email list? Buy a product or pick up the phone and give you a call? A well-planned online newsroom can direct visitors through their experience on your site.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Press Info<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Your online newsroom is absolutely a marketing tool. It\u2019s also a tool to help you improve your press and public relations. You want the media to be able to find what they want and need on your website. Consider creating a media page or a page within your newsroom that is for the press. It might contain media ready images, quotes and statistics about the company, as well as awards and even financial information.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Consistency<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We often talk about consistent content and a consistent brand message. However, to create a better online newsroom you also want to make sure that each page and link has a consistent look and feel. You want visitors to know that they\u2019re on the same website. If pages begin looking different from one another, it detracts from your brand and your user experience.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, one key factor for a better online newsroom is variety in terms of the type of content that you add to it. For example, you might have white papers, reports, infographics, video content, interviews, webinars and speeches. Your prospects, customers, and the media all prefer to be able to access a variety of content. It also helps boost your search engine results and your customer experience.<\/p>\n<p>When building your online newsroom, work with your entire sales and marketing team to create a plan. Your plan will include not only the navigation structure of the newsroom, but also what your content plan should include. Make your newsroom the highlight of your marketing strategy.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Call us today to speak to one of our PR specialists: 1-800-713-7278<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To be competitive in the modern business environment, it\u2019s almost an imperative to have an online newsroom.
