23. Media Releases
Having a story written about you and your business will not only bring you lots of new customers (at no cost to you), but will also provide you massive credibility. Stories about you in the media are far more believable, powerful and attractive than any ads you could possibly run. People will trust and respect you instantly.
A media release (also called press or news releases) should provide enough details to be informative, but it should leave out just enough information to be tantalizing that the media person calls you to find out more.
Your media release should feature the following:
(a) The Headline This is 90% of your release. Your headline will do almost all of the work in attracting attention to you.
(b) The Summary This is the first part of the media release and should tell your story briefly.
(c) Credentials & Quotations Insert quotes from other people and include the person’s credentials
(d) Call to Action What do you want the person reading this release to do? You want them to call you for an interview. So provide your contact details and write a very brief outline of why you would be an interesting person to interview.
