Note: These are common questions. Dr. Nunley’s answer, of course, promotes one of his services but does also reveal how they do things… using prnewswire.
If you’re marketing locally or statewide, most states have a press association that lets you get contact information for member newspapers and offers statewide discounts on display ads or discounts on ads for sections of a state if you’re advertising as well as doing press releases.
For $10 Business Fast Lane has a report detailing (among other things) how a work at home mom made a windfall of cash selling a self defense item through press releases!
Anyway… by way of confirmation, here’s Dr. Nunley…
From Dr. Kevin Nunley:
Q: Kevin,
In your opinion, where would be the best (and cheapest, if possible) on-line source for submitting the press-releases?
In addition, I found a website (also via a google search) that lists almost every single Newspaper in the United States with a link to their website on which one can find the contact information. My question is: what is the best format to send these press releases? Are e-mails acceptable? are they less credible if in e-mail format?
Is it better to call? If so, where could I attain the phone numbers?
Thanks so much…looking forward to hearing from you.
Jason
A: Jason,
Going to media sites, getting their submission addresses, and emailing your press release is an excellent method. This works particularly well for reaching your local and regional media. Email is the preferred method to receive a release because it’s already in the reporter’s computer and it’s easy to forward to
the correct person.If you want to reach more media nationwide, get our release deal at http://drnunley.com/release.htm
