1. Press releases are a very fast and cost effective means of getting your business noticed by industry professionals and experts. Often, your press release will be picked up by journalists, online or off, and expanded into a news story. Whether a small write up or a full multi-page review of your business, these editorial stories are one of the most powerful forms of marketing you could possibly have, often more effective than expensive paid advertising. And the best part is, these write ups are free! Even if your press release doesn't lead to a news story, it will get the word out to prospective shoppers browsing headlines at the major search engines, and if you have a website or online store, your site will get a boost in traffic and search engine rankings as a result of the links from the press release. Total Package Price: $129

The format can vary, depending on your business concept and market. The goal is to get free placement in industry magazines, online or print, or both. Basically we expand on the concept of the press release, and take it one step further, working with you to get as many free editorials and/or advertisements as possible. We successfully and consistantly received industry write-ups for our own retail businesses, and we draw upon that experience to help you achieve the same.
