Tips for press release distribution

Once you’ve written a press release, it’s time to send it out. You have a few options for distribution.

First, you can make a list of the media outlets whose readers and viewers would be most interested in your news and send your release directly to them via email. You can find their email addresses with a quick internet search: [reporter name] + [news outlet] + email address.

If that doesn’t produce results, use a tool like Hunter[11] that will provide an email formula for an outlet. Or simply connect with them on Twitter or LinkedIn.

You can also distribute your news release using an distribution service, such as:

These companies send your release to journalists based on their specific interests and also publish it on their website. Each service offers a variety of options, and costs can vary greatly, ranging from $69 to a few thousand dollars.

Another option is to hire a public relations professional[12] who can write and distribute a press release for you. These professionals often have existing relationships with the press and may be able to get you media coverage more easily.

If your news is time sensitive, such as an event or announcement, send it to reporters a few days beforehand so they have time to craft their story. If you want news outlets to hold off on publishing, release it under embargo, which is a request that reporters not publish information until a specific date. If you really need something kept secret, make sure to only offer embargoed news to outlets you trust.

Generate buzz with a press release

While a press release doesn’t guarantee free press release coverage[13], it can be an effective marketing tool. By sending out releases with a regular cadence, you start to build up brand recognition with members of the media, influencers, and bloggers.

You never know when an outlet might be looking for a source in your industry, remember your company, and reach out for an interview. By sharing newsworthy information, you become a thought leader in your field.

Successful publicity depends on sustained effort[14]. If you do get coverage, keep the buzz going by sharing those stories on social media. Mention previous coverage in the boilerplate of your next press release. Press often follows press, and once you get your first mention, you might find it easier to get a second, third, and so on.
