In this day of hurry-up-and-get-it-done, E-releases is my hero. They take the time to carefully read each press release, then contact the sender with any questions. E-Releases is like having a dedicated partner in my one-person office. The E-releases difference is that they're as concerned with the success of your company as you are ... Great Service - Heather and Mickie and the rest of the staff are thorough, professional, patient and extremely service oriented. They've saved me many a time and are always immediately available. They've actually made some suggestions that improved my releases prior to going out ... Customer support is important to me and eReleases is always quick to respond and extremely helpful ... Their professionalism, and customer orientation is a refreshing approach. Many thanks for all the great service.

After our initial use of eReleases, we received a personal email from their staff, and topic suggestions for our next press release based on the unique features of Anjolee. Their personal suggestions made us think differently about the way we write our press releases.
Although other press release companies we used in the past were less expensive, the quality of customer service and the measurable results makes using eReleases an easy choice.

Just wanted to thank you for the opportunity to have a free 10 minute consult with Heather Fuller. She was very helpful with specific recommendations for changes for my book launch release. Having never written a press release before, I found her comments invaluable. She is a real asset to eReleases. Thank you.

What You Should Know About Public Relations
Avoid the Shell Game
The fact is that press releases often yield low responses, even when your release is actually getting to journalists.
Why does this matter?
If you play the shell game of using cheap providers, you will always lose. Cheap services just don't get you in front of journalists. Why play cards in a casino where you always lose?

One Path to True Media Attention
If you want to get media attention through press releases, there is only one way: a service that reaches subscribing journalists and a service that posts your press release on a true, Tier-1 newswire (like PR Newswire, the oldest and largest newswire of press releases). The Model the Big-Bucks PR Firms Use
PR firms first turn to their rolodex (akin to our subscribing journalists), and then they use a Tier-1 newswire. Finally they bill their client for several thousand dollars. The fact is that this method does work. Odds are not great (PR firms don't guarantee results) but for every 4-12 press releases, many clients hit it big.
Regardless, the equivalent ad space for such an article may be worth tens of thousands of dollars. Most importantly, an article creates credibility.
What Does Hit It Big Mean?
Maybe an article in a major newspaper or magazine. Perhaps a radio or TV interview. More likely, a local newspaper or a trade publication.Regardless, the equivalent ad space for such an article may be worth tens of thousands of dollars. Most importantly, an article creates credibility.
Advertising vs. PR
An ad is plagued by suspicion. When you see an ad that says a company's laptop is best, do you believe it? Do you even read the whole ad?
But when Walter Mossberg says in his column that a company's laptop is the best value, do you believe that? Regardless, many Wall Street Journal readers believe what Mossberg writes. That is the difference between advertising and PR.
Good PR is built on trust and credibility. Advertising has a history of being built on lies and half-truths.
I can tell you this. Press releases do work and I have hundreds of customers that prove it. Check out their stories here.

Press Releases Work
Every so often, someone writes that press releases don't work. They are just selling something, maybe a book, maybe their own press release alternative.I can tell you this. Press releases do work and I have hundreds of customers that prove it. Check out their stories here.
Note: Cheap press release sites say that they send press releases over a newswire by dropping names like Associated Press or Reuters. These are not press release newswires. They mostly publish their own content written by their own staff. They accept outside press releases but you won't reach their writers with a cheap press release service. Like other journalists, they turn to press release newswires first.
What You Should Know About eReleases
Why Is eReleases Different?
eReleases was founded more than a decade ago with one mission: Biggest Bang for Your PR Buck™
Several years ago, we partnered with the leader in Tier-1 press release newswires: PR Newswire. We told PR Newswire that our clients would never pay what is now about $1,000 for a 500 word press release. I explained that our customer base of thousands of small business owners represent an unserved market at PR Newswire.
Fortunately for our customers, PR Newswire listened and continues to recognize the importance of giving these small business owners access to the leading national press release newswire.
I know the difference. These are off-the-shelf software databases that are filled with nonsense email addresses like newsroom@newspaper.com. They don't reach individual journalists in most cases and when they do, they are treated as the spam they are.
eReleases knows what any savvy publicist knows: it's not the size of your rolodex that matters, it's your relationship to the media inside it.

eReleases Is Built on Relationships With the Media
eReleases features a database of more than 100,000 subscribing journalists. I'm proud of this number. Other services less than two years old claim 150,000 journalists or more in their database.I know the difference. These are off-the-shelf software databases that are filled with nonsense email addresses like newsroom@newspaper.com.
