What
is a Press Release?
A press release is a story about your business, product
or event. It’s like an advertisement, but FREE.
It’s great for creditability, exposure and promotion.
The press release is submitted to the media, so hopefully they will
run your
story in their publication. You may even get a request for an interview.
