Press release is a latest trend used to achieve the Search Engine goals of any company. The press release industry is still growing at a brisk rate and the companies which provide the press release submission and press release distribution services are also growing day by day.

The main communities which use these press release services frequently are journalists, PR Firms and online marketing companies. They know which company is best suitable for them but what about someone who does not know much about press release service?

Here are few tips to consider while submitting your press release online.

a) Lots of big press release sites do not offer FREE press release submission service. If you want to go for these companies, do not go by name only. Read their testimonials, their distribution reach and their online distribution. Check some of the old press releases put live on their site, and see where you can see that press release distributed?

b) Talk to their customer care or any other support member for any of the confusion. Clarify about their pricing structure if you have any doubt, ask what they mean when they say by “News sent to more than 500,000 journalists” and such other lines. Are they serious? Ask the question.

c) Ask for coupon codes, the competition is very touch and they want good customers. Ask for some good deal where you can get good discount.

d) Check their offline reach, see if they really send the press release to newspaper and magazines. Ask for some old samples if you have any confusion.

At any stage, if they refuse to provide details then don’t worry. Sometime they are hiding something, some time they can’t reveal the strategy. Positively speaking, it is up to you to decide what the answer should be and you can select your press release company who can really give you the boost and help you reaching your goal.

Once you put the PR live with the company, don’t forget to check the stats and reach of your press release. If you are happy, great, use them again. If you are not, discuss with them and you may good result next time at discount rates.
