Unlike other forms of business writing, writing press releases online is relatively safe. When working with advertising materials, you do not need to prove your words as in academic papers and you do not need to adjust your piece of writing to the speech deliverer as with speech writing services.
 
Still, even PR writing involves many peculiarities and the final success depends equally on the talent of a writer and responsibilities of a customer. This is what we are going to explain here: how not to screw up the process of writing a press release online and make it convenient and comfortable for both sides.
 
Do not mix up a press release with clear advertising. Press releases online (as well as other types of a press release) are all about events and news rather than just talks about services, fair prices, and suchlike. If you are trying to confuse companies by ordering a press release online and expecting to get an advertisement, then your cooperation is unlikely to be productive. There is no one to blame for this but you. So, make sure your instructions are clear and specific enough.
 
Come up with a newsworthy topic before you order a press release online. If you want the company to choose it, then make sure you describe the intended audience, the purposes of your press release online, etc. Are you really interested to read about figures that indicate growth or about another new service available? Our brains are chocked up with such stuff. So, think about the audience of your online press release.

To write a press release is not that hard as it seems at a glance. Even if you are a layman in press release writing and sometimes you start thinking of customers as of capricious horde, which does not know what it wants itself. Even if customers start appearing in your nightmares — believe us, it is not that hard to write a press release. The key feature here is to remember that you are also a customer. Write as if for yourself.
 
And this is what the article is going to be about. We offer you a guide on how to write a press release that will fit you.
 
How to write a press release effectively
 
The first and foremost rule of press release writing is to keep it short. Think of yourself. How much time are you going to spend on advertising? It is unlikely that you will spend more than 1-2 minutes. Certainly, you have much more interesting stuff to read. So, make sure you limit your press release to 150-300 words. The more you write the more likely it is that your press release will be skipped.
 
To write a press release effectively, it is important to avoid blatant self-promotion. Ask yourself the following: Do you really believe these offers you read are unique? No, we do not think so. So, make the features of your service speak for themselves, there is no need in such words as “the best”, “unique” and “nowhere else”. They are too vague and annoying.

Every theory, even the largest and the most explicit one, is meaningless without proper examples. It is known that Ancient Greeks, the pioneers of science, did not describe their developments to their apprentices. They drew a picture and added one single word: “See”. Today we will try to follow their manner and provide you with a press release template.
 

1. The press release template begins with a title. An optimal size of it is 70-100 characters, depending on the media you plan to use. The use of uppercase is allowed but considered as bad manners. Certainly, you do not want to seem blatant.
2. The press release template proceeds with a release summary. This summary is a short synopsis of your event, no matter whether it is a promotion of a new product or just company news.
3. The main section of the press release template is its body. Again, its size depends on the media you plan to use: it is 300-500 characters for blogs, and its size increases up to 800 characters for other sources. Do note that the first paragraph of our imaginary press release template contains all essential info. The thing is that a release summary is used for editorial purposes and is usually skipped when the release itself is spread.
4. The last paragraph of the press release template often contains the restatement of the event described.
5. Finally, the press release template ends with a short description of your company, community or other event source. This section is also called a “boilerplate”. It should not be more than 100 characters long.

Actually, if you have experience in writing press releases, creating an event press release will not cause you too many troubles. Still, you have to make sure that your event press release stands out, which is why we suggest you follow some simple strategies.
 
Publications you are writing an event press release for
 
Before writing for online or printed publications, find out more about them, some restrictions they might have, etc. The point is that your event press release may be published just as a part of a calendar, which means not so many people will pay attention to it.
 
Things to include into a good event press release
 
Make sure your event press release includes the following important points.

• An eye-grabbing title – one of the main features of an effective event press release.
• A summary of the event – briefly explain what it is going to be about, why it takes place. Do not forget about such important details as time, place, and date of the event.
• A few details about your company – tell what your company does, say whether it is sponsoring the event, etc.
• Admission details – are there some special invitations that people should have? Will people have to pay an admission fee? Is there any dress code? Make sure to include this info into your event press release.
• Special guests – probably, some celebrities, writers, politicians will attend your event. You have to mention this information, because it will definitely attract more people.

The most important thing about an event press release is a unity of structure, audience and distribution. It is not enough just to write an event press release. You have to construct it in the right manner, send only to those people who are interested in the offered topic, and make sure your event press release reaches them on time.
 
The hardest part about an event press release is its structure. Here everything – from its title to the contact information – has to be written perfectly. As one journalist once said: “Do you know why being precise and specific is always important in an event press release? Because if I am late, I am always able to find the place of an event quickly”.
 
Event press release structure:

1. A standard title. It should attract and grab.
2. Your contacts, including the address, phone and email in case a person receiving your event press release will have questions.
3. Your event’s title. This one has to be brief and informative. Do not try to come up with something intriguing. An event press release tells about an event, not about the gossips that surround this event.
4. A body. Follow the rules of the upside down pyramid, stating the 5 W’s. Make readers realize that the event you are inviting to is worth visiting. Make sure you spill some details to raise the interest.
5. An event press release has to end with contacts or hints on where the readers can get more information. This can be, for example, the web-site of your company or some other sources.

Press release writing service sometimes can save your business or your event from a complete failure. Let us explain why.

Your event needs audience - people who are going to spend their free time and attend it. If you do not have enough visitors, representatives of your target audience, your event cannot be considered serious enough. So, even media will neglect this happening if they find out that you did not have enough participants. Certainly, you do not want this to happen, so you have to write a brilliant press release to attract the most important for you clients.

Unfortunately, even if there is a marketing manager working for your company, this does not mean that your press release will attract the right people. Your marketing manager will probably spend some time and try to come up with something decent – decent, but not good enough. So, at this point, why not to turn to press release service that will not only save your business, but also bring desired results?!

Press release writing services will write a top quality press release, especially if you give enough time for that. You should realize that nobody can produce a good press release in 2-3 hours, since you need at least 12 hours to complete this task. So, be realistic!

We have reached the conclusion that sometimes it is a good idea not to save your money on press release writing services, but invest it in your future. If you worked so hard on the organization of your event and press release, nothing can go wrong!

Some call a news press release a fake story aimed at attracting the attention of the media to an event or a person. Others use it just for the second part – attracting attention. Whatever it is, a news press release is a commonly used thing. It is quite popular and accepted as a way to communicate between the media.
