Planning the timing of your press release helps you make sure that it gets into the right hands, where it will do you the most benefit. There are a lot of pieces to the puzzle, and sitting down to identify your options can help you make sure your timing works for your needs.<\/p>\n

What Are Your Press Release Goals?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before you can establish a timeline for your press release distribution, you\u2019ll want to look at the goals you have for your release. For example, if your goal is to increase traffic to your website then the timing matters less than if you want to get big media exposure before an event. Once your primary goal has been identified you can move forward with your timeline.<\/p>\n

Who Are You Working With?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you working with a reporter? Do you have a relationship with a media blogger? Make a list of the people that you\u2019re working with. Then do a bit of digging and find out what their timeline is for covering your news. Do they need 24 hours\u2019 notice or do they need a week? What day do they publish on and how does that fit into your event or launch? For example, if they publish on a Friday and your event is on a Thursday, you\u2019re going to need to get them the information a week prior to your event.<\/p>\n

The same is true for distribution services. If you\u2019re working with a service, you\u2019ll want to find out what their turnaround time is. How long does it take to approve a release and get it on the wires? Add that information to your timeline.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the Actual Date of Your News?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re announcing an event, like a charity run, or you\u2019re announcing the launch of a product, then that date will play a key role in your planning. Ideally, you want the press release to go out before that day. You can work backwards to determine when the release should be distributed.<\/p>\n

What About Email?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re distributing your press release via email or on social media, that\u2019s an easy step. With autoresponders and the ability to schedule content on social media, you can set the release to be distributed at the same time it hits the wires. That way, you\u2019re covering all your channels at the same time. It helps boost visibility.<\/p>\n

When Do You Publish It on Your Website?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Generally, the release can be published on your website or blog after it has hit the news wires, social media, and just before your email it. Ideally, you\u2019ll email a link to the press release which will link back to your website.<\/p>\n

As for the best day and time to get a press release out there into the world? There are differing opinions. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday seem to be the best days and most people recommend submitting them it the early to mid-morning. However, you should always test and track your results to find out what day and time works best for you.<\/p>\n

Planning the timing of your press release distribution depends largely on how you\u2019re getting it out there and what your goals are. Start with your goals and the day of the event and then work backward, making sure that everyone is on schedule and ready to go when it\u2019s time to hit \u201cSend.\u201d<\/p>\n
