Guidelines
For a successful press release, here are a few guidelines.
-
Press release should be about a new release, an upcoming
gig or announcement.
-
The headline and summary should be descriptive and eye catching so that
visitors/journalists want to read your press release.
-
Do not use ALL CAPITAL letters. To some this amounts
to screaming, and people do not like to be screamed at. Likewise, in as much
as you may wish to emphasize what you are saying, do not it with multiple
punctuation marks!!!! Do not underline your text, nor use bold. If
well written, the words you use will effectively convey what you want to say.
-
Keep the headline to less than 100 characters and between 5 to 20 words.
-
Keep the body between 3000 to 4000 characters and between 3 to 10 paragraphs.
-
It is strongly recommended to provide as much lead time as possible.
If you submit a press release regarding tomorrow's gig, or a likewise timely
matter, we won't distribute it.
-
For beginners, or even experts, it's useful to look at other press releases.
If you need more information regarding writing an effective news release,
read our tutorial.
