Ready to create buzz for your business but dont know where to start? In its latest episode, PreneurCast host Pete explains why writing a press release is still important, how it makes the writer a better sales person, and what effect it can have on an entrepreneurs business.
During the podcast, Pete states, A press release must have the same core elements as a good sales letter. The key thing is having a good structured headline and hook. Once the headline is formed, individuals must formulate the supporting evidence to reinforce why the headline is so interesting and sum it up for the journalist reading it.
Pete talks with Dom Goucher, the other host of the marketing podcast, about his blueprint for writing press releases and gives some tips for ways to make them stand out. Listeners are also taught about how every press release should have a call-to-action at the end whether its for media or inquiries, and to make sure its clear.
One lesson that Pete and Dom are encouraging their listeners to get from this episode is press releases are easy to write and can get an entrepreneur a lot of free publicity locally, nationally and internationally.
