To get this kind of attention and publicity, your first step towards drafting your press release must be to follow a standard format. This way you can easily grab the attention of the editor or journalist towards your release. Your news release must not exceed 400-500 words and should ideally be 4-5 paragraphs long. Once the editor looks into your news release, he needs to find a nutshell of the whole press release in the first few lines of the first paragraph itself as he does not have the time to go through all of your release. Also, to keep your press release from getting trashed, make sure it is free from grammatical mistakes and spelling errors. This would really piss the reader off as he/she is not the one who should be correcting your mistakes. Most important of all, your release must target the correct publication and audience as people from fashion background would never be interested in your marketing news.
STANDARD FORMAT:
Heading, dateline, introduction, body, boilerplate, close and contact information are the 7 most important and common structural elements of an efficient press release. The heading of your press release must be to the point, brief and clear enough. It ideally needs to be drafted in such a way that it gives a summary of the whole press release. The body must be simple and should not contain very long and complex sentences. Most importantly, answer all the 6 questions being who, when, what, where, why and how very clearly. It looks professional to include a boilerplate just after the body which gives a brief background about your company in just 5-6 lines. Don’t forget to include your contact information in the end which is incomplete without the company’s name, contact person’s name, company address, phone number, emails address and website address.
