When it comes right down to it, there are plenty of great motivations for businesses to continue with press release writing as a way to build a relationship with the media (and the public). Still, there are some reasons that stand out among them all:

  1. Press release writing is still important to get the attention of the traditional media. Do some newspaper editors look for press releases online when they need a story? Sure, but they’re more likely to grab information from a press release that is sent to them over email or by fax.
  2. Press release writing is important for building links to your company web site - or to individual product or service pages.
  3. Press release writing is important for getting the word out about your company, products or services, to others within the industry - it’s simply a matter of making sure that editors at trade magazines are aware of what you have to offer.
  4. Press release writing gives you the opportunity to put information out there that will help them to attract prospective customers who are searching for similar products and services online.
  5. Press release writing allows you to - at least to some extent - control the news that people read about your company.

When you recognize all of the reasons why businesses still focus on press release writing, it’s easy to see the ways in which they can benefit your company as well.
