Press Release Distribution

Our industry-leading Press Release Distribution service works by sending your press releases directly to the journalists most likely to write about them. We do this by tailor-making bespoke lists for each individual release from our live Media Contacts Database of more than half a million editorial opportunities, across Regional and National Newspapers, Magazines (Trade and Consumer), TV, Radio and Online.Press releases can be sent through our website by registered Presswire users, or directly by email to us. They can be sent as pure text or HTML, complete with images and embedded video at no extra cost.

Prior to send-out, a human editor checks every press release for typos, spelling mistakes, broken links, corrupt formatting and missing images to ensure recipients and search engines always receive a faultless message. We then test send each release to ensure it always reaches the recipients' Inbox folders, avoiding overzealous spam/junk filters.

We can push press releases onto Google News, The Press Association, Thomson Reuters and Lexis Nexus as well as syndicate them across our own network of 400+ news sites and onto social media.We also provide permanent links to our releases, promoting your keywords, content and links to major search engines for the long-term, providing quality back-links that will boost your search engine rankings and page rank for years to come.

Many of our clients opt to take bulk Press Release Distribution and Media Monitoring/Distribution Report deals over an annual period allowing us to offer discounts on our standard on-spec rates of up to 33% off, depending on the number of distributions required.

Tracking Reports

As press releases are distributed, our unique system can track each recipient so we can report on who opened them, whether they were forwarded, how many times they were read and how long they were read for.This provides you with immensely valuable data to compare pick-up metrics from one release to another, as well as providing you with a roadmap for following-up with your key targets.

Regarding our Tracking service, our report (in Excel format) will show you all primary recipients who received and opened your release. It does not show any of the contacts who received the release but did not open it (bear in mind, many people read their messages in the preview pane of Outlook, etc.) Where we identify that a recipient opened your release and looked at it for more than 4 seconds, we include their name, position, publication title and telephone number (where available), for following-up purposes.

Where there are multiple openings of your release, it could mean that the same reporter is returning to it, or that they opened it and forwarded it to a colleague, who has then also opened it.The average metrics provided at the top of the table show you how many opens, how many reads and how long an email was read for - this allows to compare the success of one release against another, especially if you put multiple releases through Presswire. Thus allowing you to spot opportunities and tweak the language and presentation of future releases to boost pick-up and effectiveness.In short, our Tracking Reports provide the ultimate roadmap for following-up with journalists who are interested in your messages.
