What is a regional press release?
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008Many good questions about our service are answered in our Press Release Chat Service.
Here’s one that we need to do a better job at defining on our press release website:
Matt> Hello, you are speaking with Matt. How can I help you?
Visitor> Yes, I have a press release ready to go and wanted to know what you mean by regional press release.
Matt> Hello, the region is as you define it…city, state, tri-state, SW, NE,…etc.
Visitor> Okay, so for example I live in a part of Southern California called the Inland Empire, you could cover that area?
Matt> Yes, the region would be: Southern California for your press release -SF to SD.
Visitor > Awesome. That’s all I need to know, I guess now its just buying the regional press release?
Matt> Some national and Northern CA outlets that syndicate to your area as well.
Visitor > Ok. Very good.
Matt> Anything else I can help you with today?
Visitor > I guess one more question. My event is on Feb. 9. How soon should I send this release?
Matt> We like to get the release 2 weeks out…but most releases are done a week out.
Matt> It gives the reporter time to fit it into there busy schedule.
Visitor > Ok, I will go ahead and send it to you today. Thanks for your help!
Matt> Your welcome.
Note: the grammar was edited a little for clarification.
