Sample Press Release
A new product introduction, a new distribution deal, A special offer, a major management change, a change of name, or affiliation or a new major customer/client – all are fair fodder for a press release, online to your press list (you do have one, don’t you?) and to you customer/partner list as well.
Press releases today are really thinly disguised ads in press release format, since they go out on the Web in any case where customers, prospects – and yes, competitors – an see them.
Investor relations news and regulatory flings are different, and need to be distributed carefully. Best to use a recognized distribution service.

Thursday December 30, 4:13 pm ET
In a survey of the industry's top consulting firms, executives cited future opportunities stemming from strong demand for business consulting services in the airline, automotive supply, retail, healthcare and higher education industries, as well as continued growth of the public sector. "Client needs are for sustainable models to generate value for shareholders to address regulatory changes -- especially those sparked by Sarbanes-Oxley -- aggressive supply management practices, and increased global competition," said Scheer.
