Aren\u2019t they archaic? If you haven\u2019t tried writing one for your e-commerce store yet, press releases can be a useful way to get your store some exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/guides.newswire.com\/g\/how-to-write-a-press-release\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 20px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newswire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Guide-Writing-Press-Release.jpg\" alt=\"get-started-newsroom\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" align=\"right\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Press releases do more than just send your\ncontent out to reporters who can then use it for articles or publish it as-is.\nPress releases now can be published online as news pieces themselves and serve\na major purpose for getting the word out about your store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number one reason to include press\nreleases in your e-commerce store\u2019s strategic marketing plan is to get more\nexposure for your brand. A well-written press release can not only raise public\nawareness of your brand, but it can also encourage sales and build confidence\nin your brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So\nif you are new to writing press releases, what should you include in yours to\nmake sure it gets noticed?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, craft an intriguing and to-the-point\nheading and sub-heading. Your heading, the title of your press release, should\ndraw readers in. Then use your sub-heading (generally one sentence) to further\ndraw people in and give them a little more of a taste of what\u2019s to come in your\npress release itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, think short paragraphs (they\u2019re best\nfor skimming online) and use the first paragraph to let people know why they\nshould keep reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\nelse should be included?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Contact information for your\ncompany, including a specific contact person<\/li><li>Two to four additional\nparagraphs of information after your first paragraph<\/li><li>Quotes from customers, industry\nexperts, or stakeholders in your company<\/li><li>A clear and concise\ncall-to-action<\/li><li>A boilerplate closing about\nyour company, including a summary of your company and what it does<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\nelse can you include to make your press release stand out?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Images<\/li><li>Multimedia content<\/li><li>Data<\/li><li>Humor<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But\nwhat can you write your press release about?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure that you have something worth\nwriting about in your press release. If your store just opened or you are\nlaunching a new product or product line, partnering with a worthwhile cause, or\nsponsoring a community event, a press release can be a great method of getting\nthe word out about what is going on in your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Once\nyou\u2019ve written your press release, where can you submit it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in the U.S., some great sites to start submitting your press releases are PR.com, BusinessWire.com, and eReleases.com.  And, if you\u2019re lucky enough to have some journalists or professional PR people in your inner circle, make sure to get their feedback on the press releases you\u2019re writing. Take their critiques and use them to craft better press releases to increase your exposure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:30px\"><strong>Call us today to speak to one of our PR specialists: 1-800-713-7278<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have press releases gone by the wayside in our digital marketing world?
