5 Tips for Writing Quality Press Releases

Press releases are a great way to share exciting news about your business with customers. They can also help build your Google ratings too! In order for press releases to be the most effective though they need to be read by others online. Creating interesting, attention-grabbing press releases will help make your efforts well worth the time.

Here are 5 tips to writing quality press releases:

1. Write about the newsworthy
Press releases should only be used when your business has something worth sharing. New product offerings, a limited promotion, or expanding service area are all great examples of content that would best be served in a release.

2. Keep the headline catchy but direct
The headline is what will draw the readers in so it needs to be interesting. At the same time though, it need to clearly state what your business is announcing. Creating the perfect mix is sometimes tricky but gets easier with practice. When editing your press release, take time to reconsider your title and how it will be received as well.

3. Make it a One-Pager
Limit your press release to one page. There seems to be a huge variance of suggested word counts online but a good rule is to keep them between 300 to 500 words and broken up into 3 or 4 paragraphs. During editing, shorten any flowery sentences to make the context easier to digest for the reader.

4. Keywords still matter
Keywords can still have an impact in the world of press releases. To prove effective, keywords should be used 3 – 4 times throughout the release. As always, it is important to make the words flow organically within the context of your writing.

5. Keep a template
Why reinvent the wheel each and every time you need a press release? Keep a template on hand to speed up the process and keep your releases uniform. Make sure to change the contact information on your template as needed.

Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.

Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
