The main purpose of a press release for an online store is to push traffic to your site and entice customers to purchase. But, stating that as your call-to-action is not ideal. It\u2019s important to keep this goal in mind as you craft a well-written, professional, informative press release. If your release is enticing enough, website traffic and orders will surely begin to roll in!<\/p>\n\n\n

Keep in mind as you\u2019re writing your press release that it\u2019s important to include something newsworthy and to use an informative tone so your press release doesn\u2019t come off as self-serving to your readers. If it reads as a sales letter or promotional piece, your readers won\u2019t want to follow through on your call-to-action and it\u2019s much less likely to get picked up as a news item with journalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\ndo online store press releases appear different from traditional \u201cbrick and\nmortar\u201d store press releases?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The format and content can actually be very\nsimilar. Each should include these pieces:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
  • Heading that captures the reader\u2019s attention and draws him\/her in to keep them reading.<\/li>
  • Sub-heading (usually one sentence) that expands on the heading and further draws in the reader.<\/li>
  • Introductory paragraph that explains why the reader should keep reading, why the information contained within is pertinent to them.<\/li>
  • Three to four additional paragraphs that contain data, quotes from customers or stakeholders, or other information to back up what was written in the introductory paragraph.<\/li>
  • A clear and concise call-to-action for your reader to take the next necessary steps.<\/li>
  • Boilerplate information about your company.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The main difference between a press release for an online store and a traditional store is in the call-to-action. Since you can\u2019t invite your reader to stop in for a sale or to come in to \u201ctry out\u201d the new product, the call-to-action must be crafted around online activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
