Answers to Your Press Release Pricing Questions
How much does press release distribution cost?
The cost of press release distribution varies widely depending on the depth and breadth of the distribution offered by the press release distribution service you choose. If you want to blow a few bucks on something that’s virtually useless, you can pay less than $100 offered by the press release distribution service you choose. If you want to blow a few bucks on something that’s virtually useless, you can pay less than $100 if you don’t want to actually reach any journalists but are happy to have your press release stream on a few news/media sites. (This is called syndication distribution). However, if you are looking for comprehensive distribution, including transmission over an actual newswire, like eReleases does through PR Newswire, expect to spend between $1,000 and $1,700 to distribute your press release.
Press release distribution pricing also depends on whether you want local city/state distribution or something wider like national or international distribution. eReleases acts as a co-op for small businesses, giving you wide custom national distribution over Cision PR Newswire as well as a hand-selected send to subscribing journalists – all for an affordable price, starting at just $399.
How do you release a press release?
A press release is issued to the media electronically, either by email, newswire, or another method, like streaming. Very few journalists accept press releases by fax any longer and most find snail mail annoying.
eReleases maximizes your press release ROI by combining a custom national distribution of your press release over Cisions’s PR Newswire service with a personalized email send that targets specific reporters, writers, bloggers, and influencers we believe will be receptive to your message.
What is the difference between press release syndication and distribution?
Press release syndication is the simple copying of a press release onto a number of different websites, similar to streaming. Because the syndication process happens without any journalist’s attention or engagement, syndication is much less expensive than distribution. Also, journalists are not receiving the syndicated press release. Worse still, since most search engines will detect the syndicated web page as duplicate content, syndicated web pages are rarely included in the search results. So most people will never see the syndicated version, including the journalists and reporters you want to reach.
With press release distribution, your press release will be sent directly to journalists, often to journalists who have subscribed to receive press releases about a certain topic. The fact that these subscribing journalists are interested in your topic makes it much more likely that journalists will write about your news.
Where can I get free press release templates and examples?
eReleases has a great resource for press release templates at https://www.ereleases.com/press-release-template/ – here you can also find press release templates in Word (.doc) format as well as in Google Docs format.
We have nearly 40 industry-specific press release examples listed at https://www.ereleases.com/press-release-sample/
How much would it cost for eReleases to write a press release for us?
If you would like for us to write your press release, we can certainly handcraft a professionally written release in 3 business days for an additional $300 on top of your distribution package.
To have us write a custom press release for you, when you begin your order for press releases distribution, just select that you need press release writing. From there, you will be prompted to answer a brief questionnaire about the news you are looking to send. We’ll forward all of the information you provide to one of our professional press release writers to use as they craft your release.
Upon receipt of the draft you may request any edits or accept the copy as is. Then you will confirm the date of distribution with your editor.
Are press releases worth it?
If you are looking to grow your business and are looking at public relations, specifically press releases, you should know the math is both for you and against you. A successful PR campaign can generate many hundreds of thousands of dollars in media exposure for you, often for a cost of just a few thousand dollars. However, it’s important to know that this rarely happens with a single press release.
David Meerman Scott points out in the audiobook version of his best-selling book, “The New Rules of Marketing and PR,” that he issued more than a dozen different press releases to promote his book before getting critical mass.
Sometimes, it is the third, fourth, or sixth press release that finally gets traction. If you are willing to commit to a proper PR campaign, press releases can be a valuable and profitable expense for a business, especially if you can keep the costs to a minimum by using a service like eReleases.
Is PR Newswire free? If not, how much does PR Newswire cost?
No, Cision PR Newswire is not free. Being the oldest and largest newswire of press releases, PR Newswire offers its services to journalists and newsrooms throughout the United States, including blogs, industry publications, TV, and radio. For this service, PR Newswire members pay an annual fee and must also pay for each press release distribution. You should be aware that eReleases is the only nationwide partner of PR Newswire and we include a custom national distribution over PR Newswire in every press release distribution package we offer.
What is PR Newswire pricing? How much does it cost to send a press release on Cision PR Newswire?
Cision PR Newswire pricing isn’t cheap. For a press release of 500 words, the Cision PR Newswire price list shows a range between $630 for a local city/state distribution to more than $1300 for a national press release distribution, plus a $305 setup fee. All eReleases press release distributions include a national distribution over PR Newswire so we’ve got you covered.
What are press release prices?
There are two costs when it comes to press releases: the cost to write a press release and the cost of press release distribution.
eReleases offers press release writing for as little as $300, and press release distribution packages ranging from $399 to $699. Considering the value offered in those packages and the potentially huge ROI when your press releases get picked up by the media, those are amazing prices!
Why should you avoid free or cheap press release distribution?
There are cheap, even free press release distribution offers out there. But you should be aware that those services almost never give you what you’re looking for when you send out a press release. You want journalists, reporters, and influencers to see your release, read it, publish it, or better yet, write their own article about it.
Unfortunately, people who select free and cheap press release distribution services almost never get any results because journalists almost never see their press releases.
eReleases does exactly the opposite – our press releases are sent out over the highly respected Cision PR Newswire, plus we back that up with emails sent to a customized segment of our proprietary, highly-targeted database of journalists who actually want to receive press releases like yours. Does it cost more? Yes. But the difference in results is highly worth it.
When should you send a press release?
If you are committed to an ongoing PR campaign, expect to send a minimum of four to six press releases a year, ideally at least one press release a quarter. If you have more newsworthy events, continue to send more releases. For example, a new product or service merits a press release that capitalizes on its most newsworthy elements.
The actual timing of a press release depends on several factors including the seasonality of your product or service. If you are selling an electronic tie rack for Father’s Day, you will want to get your message out to the media well in advance, ideally six to eight weeks before the holiday. This window of availability closes one to two weeks before the event, with only bloggers and online media able to cover it at that time.
Regarding day of the week, there is no magic day but there is a mediocre day of the week. Mondays are a day where there are a lot of press releases filling email inboxes and newswire feeds so competition is strongest then. Because of this, reporters are much more likely to just lightly skim your press release headline on Mondays rather than give it a proper once-over. That being said, newsworthy press releases get picked up Monday through Friday. Weekends are to be avoided, except for breaking news.
Where do you send press releases?
Press releases are sent to the media, which may include newspapers, bloggers, magazines, industry trade publications, radio and TV. While also shared to trade associations, vendors, and analysts, they are usually not sent directly to consumers. Ideally the media will develop a story from the press release, which will ultimately reach consumers.
eReleases sends its press releases through a custom national distribution over Cision PR Newswire plus a hand-selected email send to subscribing journalists, as well as appropriate social media and industry influencers. You are also able to target your press release by industry and locality, like a major city or state. You can view this distribution here: https://www.ereleases.com/lists/
