Promote your passion with a press release

By Wymetto Barnard


Press releases typically have a reputation of being wry, dull and occasionally to technical for the average reader to appreciate. While some press releases do contain statistics and technical data that may regularly hamper its entertainment value , the actual press release itself does not have to be uninteresting and it does not have to be without personality.

To make your press release engaging, first consider the audience that your press release will be reaching. Consider the crowd that your marketing surveys and research are focused towards and work your press releases from that angle.

As an example, does your company turn out children's toys or books? To make a press release engaging for this instance, you can change the font size of the typed release to make it more playful and fun. You can also play with the colors and style of the release to appeal to a more fun-spirited audience. As with the aesthetics of a press release, work within the confines that are given by the specific media that's making the submission. In the content of the press release, be totally certain to supply the places where the product (in this example, the children's books) can be found and stress the product is for kids. Perhaps discuss how long the company has been in the children's services industry and maybe even share a private story or two from key personnel within the firm that had a direct role in steering the company toward selling the firms product. When you appeal to the entertainment price that's inside a product or service, you stand an improved chance of gaining and keeping the notice of the spectators. You also stand the chance to harden your corporations name in the minds of the purchasers.

Why should a press release be interesting? In fact , isn't the job of a press release to share information, make press releases and focus on key leaders within the company? Sure it is, but often , if the promotional release only list those things in a non-interesting and non-engaging format, your press release does not have a chance of being circulated and shared among other firms and their members. Your press release also should be engaging to generate a buzz among readers and to plant your product name or service in their minds. Since the point and focus of a press release is to bring attention to a firm the very last thing that you need your press release to do is to be uninteresting and absent minded.

In situations where solemnness is guaranteed in a press release and is good, it can still be fascinating by employing other strategies which will engage the reader. Perhaps after the press release has shared its important company information and made its statement, it should then share info regarding impending company events to commemorate the announcement or about people inside the business who will be spearheading or supervising impending events. Give the reader more than just an easy statement to take away from the press release. Offer them something which will make them want to follow the company and see what the following event (s) might be.
