While a press release can get you some exposure \u2013 and that exposure can grow as it gets picked up by other sites, having a journalist or influencer write a story about your press release idea or story idea can increase that exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/guides.newswire.com\/g\/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\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why do small business\nowners like press releases?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Press releases can even the playing field between smaller\nbusinesses and larger businesses. With almost no monetary investment, a small\nbusiness can have their news item picked up and distributed by large\npublications and websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, with some training and practice, small business\nowners can learn to write press releases on their own, which can make it\nextremely easy for them to get more traction, without that larger investment.\nThis lower price tag makes press releases an attractive option for small\nbusiness owners in a wide variety of industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How can media\npitching help the effectiveness of these press releases?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once small business owners know which news pieces get the\nmost traction for them, they can start crafting a plan to pitch the media on\nreal stories about them. This can be tricky, but knowing what your audience\nwants to read and what they\u2019re likely to share with their audiences will make\nit much more likely that your news pitch gets picked up by journalists or\ninfluencers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Once the pitch is picked up, it can take on a life of its own. <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only will that small business owner be able to share the story with their own networks, they\u2019ll also see that the followers of that publication, that writer, or that influencer pick up the story and share it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, it gives the press release a longer life. While a press release may be picked up and distributed, it does eventually hit a saturation limit on how much further that one piece can go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But a news story can have follow-ups, additional interview requests, and more coverage and hooks that could potentially come to light. <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Media pitching, when done correctly with the right angle to the right people, can definitely extend a press release\u2019s effectiveness. Doing it correctly gives a pitch more exposure and gets the information out to new audiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Call us today to speak to one of our PR specialists: 1-800-713-7278<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By reaching out to key members of the press and various influencers for your target market and in your industry, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5602,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1151,136,840],"class_list":["post-5553","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-outreach","tag-media-pitch","tag-press-release","tag-small-business-pr"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7 (Yoast SEO v25.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Can Media Pitching Help Your Press Release\u2019s Effectiveness? | Newswire<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Small business?
