Let\u2019s take a look at the Press Release Best Practices for 2019:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Make it Newsworthy & Know Your\nAudience.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These are two old school rules. You absolutely must know who you\u2019re writing for and who may actually care about your news. You also must make it newsworthy. What is newsworthy? It\u2019s something that is interesting, relevant, and timely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understand Targeting and Distribution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s press release distribution services can be quite savvy. They support you to publish your press release on targeted sites. Proper targeting can make a difference. You can go from having hundreds of views to thousands. In turn, traffic from your PR can cause an increase in revenue. Do your due diligence before you set your industry targets pre-distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Quality Distribution Services<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t hit the big name channels and\nservices unless you use the best distribution services. Yes, they can sometimes\ncost a little more, but they\u2019re worth it and they often come with a lot more\ntools and resources, including analytics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Syndicate<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Syndicating\nyour press release is very important. Take the time to make sure that your\nsocial channels are all set up to syndicate your press release. Key channels to\nconsider include Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Reddit, Pinterest, and\nInstagram. Use a different outlet for each social channel syndication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhance with Visuals<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Pictures, video, and even audio files are worth a million words.Adding multimedia elements to your press release has many benefits. It can increase your SEO, website traffic, and brand awareness –all of which benefits of press release marketing. The foundation of best practices for press releases hasn\u2019t changed much. You want to make sure you\u2019re putting out quality information and newsworthy releases. The way you can leverage technology and marketing channels to promote and distribute your press release is one of the main changes in 2019. Create a stellar release. Choose a top-notch distribution service. Leverage the tools the service provides to enhance your press release and target key media outlets.
