“The major factors to consider when writing press releases is to identify what you want to sell and how best do you intend to sell it. It is necessary to be direct and factual while writing the release. Ensure that the most important message appear in the opening paragraph as editors often are impatient to go through your entire piece. Also, make sure there are quotes, for emphasis.
“A good press release writer is an editor’s delight. Because editors operate under pressure, they value press releases that not only offers them news but give them less hassles by way of editing.
“Grammatical errors are a put off. Information overload and verbosity are equally not healthy. The messaging should be concise and to the point, to avoid misrepresentation,” he said.
