It can be a bit tricky, however, to come up with press release ideas that are newsworthy when you\u2019re only just getting started. These five ideas will help.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/guides.newswire.com\/guide\/how-to-send-press-releases-via-email\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 20px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newswire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Guide-Email-image.png\" alt=\"email-press-release\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" align=\"right\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Benefit to Your Buyer \u2013 What Do They Have to Gain?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Write a press release from the angle of your buyer. This is a foolproof approach and it is always newsworthy. Your release information focuses on the benefit. What problem does your product solve? For example, a press release for a bike that folds up to fit in a briefcase can focus on the fact that the bike won\u2019t get stolen. This type of approach will appeal to both investors who think it\u2019s a great idea, future buyers who are looking forward to making a purchase, and journalists who are looking to cover a story their audience will be interested in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Number of Investors You\u2019ve Received<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One common approach to crowdfunding press releases is to wait to issue a release until you have some campaign momentum. The theory is that no journalist will care about your story until your investors do. So, once you have a number of investors and your campaign is taking off, then you issue a press release.\u00a0 You can take a few different approaches with this philosophy. You can write a press release about the number of investors your campaign has, or the limited number of spots left available. Or you can simply take the first tack and talk about what investors have to gain, but you\u2019ll wait until you have momentum rather than distributing the release on your launch day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your Story \u2013 If Potato Salad Can Sell\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Stories sell and they capture attention. Do you remember the story of the family potato salad crowdfunding campaign? Zack Brown just wanted $10 to make potato salad. Instead, he earned more than $8,000 via a Kickstarter campaign. His story sold and spread quickly. It was quirky, people could invest just a few bucks, and it grabbed media attention. What\u2019s your company or product story? How might it grab the attention of potential investors or the media?<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Investors Receive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Are you giving away something unique with your crowdfunding campaign? Zack decided to host a potato salad party and share the recipe that he used when he made his potato salad. Your investors probably get some pretty good deals. A craft cider company may give away a year\u2019s worth of free cider, while a foldable bike company might give away a free bike and helmet. If you\u2019re giving away something that your investors might value or find unique, that could be your news and your angle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your Big Why \u2013 What Problem Do You Solve?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s go back to the reason that most people pay attention to content, any content; they want to know what\u2019s in it for them and how you\u2019ll make their life better. Tackle your crowdfunding press release from this angle and you\u2019re on the path to success.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no reason that you cannot try all of these approaches, and more, when drumming up press and publicity for your crowdfunding campaign. Leveraging the power of a press release and combining that with distribution and social media can help your campaign be a success.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Call us today to speak to one of our PR specialists: 1-800-713-7278&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:16897,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;17&quot;:1}\">Call us today to speak to one of our PR specialists: 1-800-713-7278<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press releases are a terrific way to create momentum and interest for your crowdfunding campaign.
