How long does a press release live?

Monday, September 24th, 2007

While flicking through a magazine this morning looking for a promised client credit, I found unexpected coverage for a different client. It was from a press release we sent out in June (and this was the October edition of the magazine).

It just goes to prove that well written press releases with a great story can have a long life. The magazine had clearly been saving this one up for a weddings feature they were working on.

Thanks to the internet, your press releases can also live on as pages on your website. Not only will they be of interest to people who visit the site, but they can attract new traffic in the first place. Search engines like sites that are adding new relevant content. And that’s what press releases are.

Magazine readers are a good source of word of mouth publicity

The time and effort it can sometimes take to get into magazines is worth it.

There’s a story on The Wise Marketer (free registration required) which sasya a study has found magazine readers are more likely to be advocates of products they read about in a magazine.

The study focused on Stuff magazine. Some highlights:

  • Stuff readers surveyed were 72% more likely to have made a recommendation regarding technology in the last 12 months
  • 83% of Stuff readers encouraged at least one person to act on their recommendation compared to only 45% of non-readers
  • For the technology category, 81% of Stuff readers are influencers
