$25 Professional Press Releases - 3 Days Only!!! - Limited Spots!!!

Discussion in 'Services' started by jhmattern, Sep 19, 2006.

  1. #1
    I recently ended a summer-long sale on my press releases at $25 (normal rate is $99). I've decided to offer that rate again ONLY for 3 days Tuesday through Thursday (Sept. 21st), because a client needed to delay a large project with a radio campaign, and I'm simply trying to fill some of that pre-assigned time at the last minute. Any releases ordered during the sale time will be finished by Friday (obviously any ordered today will be done sooner). I won't be taking "delayed orders" - meaning you can't order one saying you want the sale rate for a release you'll be ready for next week. This is simply a limited time offer to fill up some time during this week, so get your orders in early! I only accept up to 5 press releases per day now, so once I fill those spots the sale ends! :)

    My Background: I'm sure you've all seen plenty of press release writing services advertised, so I'll give you a bit of background on what makes me different.

    1. I'm not a content writer. I'm an actual Public Relations professional, meaning I'm trained in knowing how to write for the media, and getting media pickups is the entire point of press releases in the first place. My degree is in PR, and I run a small PR firm managing full campaigns to PR writing.

    2. I've gotten my clients pickups in large online and offline media outlets with my press releases - some of the online media pickups my releases have helped DP members get include Clickz.com, BusinessWeek.com, and USAtoday.com.

    3. I'll guarantee a rating of at least 4 in PRweb. If it comes back as less for any reason, I edit it and resubmit, and contact them for their reasons on the rare occasion it happens.

    4. I don't invoice my clients up front. You receive an invoice (which can be standard or via Paypal at your discretion) only after I submit the press release to you.

    Samples:

    1. PrinterAnywhere.com
    2. PixaPrize.com
    3. RapVideo.com
    4. BehindTheInk.com
    5. HiPerformer.com

    If you would like more samples privately, just PM me. :) You can either PM me or email me at if you'd like to place an order for the limited sale spots available this week.

    A few people have asked, so I figured I'd clarify... no, distribution is not included in the $25 sale rate. That's still $5 for each free newswire submission to cover my time. I just wanted to make that clear so I don't answer the same question all day. :) A few spots filled up already, so make sure to get in before they're gone if you need a release. :)

    There are only two spots left for press releases to be written tomorrow (Wednesday) - order by the morning if you want to get in. :) Thursday has two spots filled, but it's normally a slower day so I may be able to squeak and extra one or two in over the 5.

    Thanks Paula. I appreciate that. :) How is everything going with BehindTheInk by the way? :)

    Also, another update. Since my last post, two more spots for tomorrow filled up. So there's "officially" still one more spot for tomorrow, but as I said earlier, I might be able to work in a few extras depending on how quickly things are going and how many distractions I have tomorrow. I still have spots available for Thursday, and even though the offer ends Thursday and I won't take sale orders after that point, I'm booking through a Friday set... so there are still 5 spots open for Friday writing. :) If you're not sure that a press release is right for you, don't hesitate to ask me about it. I can't ethically justify agreeing to write one if I honestly believe there's no newsworthy angle. So I don't take on every release request I get just to try to make a quick buck. You'll get my honest opinion either way, and possibly a few angles to consider before you make a final decision. I'm more than willing to answer any questions, so if you're not sure, just contact me. Whether you order or not, you might learn a few things to help you with a press release in the future. :)

    The "official" spots for Thursday have been taken (I may be able to squeeze one or two more in, but no promises). Any orders to be written on Friday MUST be placed by tomorrow. Any orders placed after Thursday, or in excess of the available slots for Friday's writing - 5, will not be valid for the limited discount offer. Thanks to everyone who placed orders. :) If you emailed me or PM'd me with questions, I'll try to respond sometime this evening (eastern standard time) - I'm not going to be checking them for a few hours while I finish up today's orders. :)

    Just a reminder that today is the last day to place orders at the sale rate. I had a few releases from a client postponed for a little while, so I'll have some extra time this evening to add a few more, and there are still spots tomorrow. Because several people have expressed interest in having multiple releases done during the limited sale, I may even write them through the weekend, which would open up a few more spots. So be sure to PM me or email me today if you're interested in taking advantage of the sale. Remember, orders placed after today (Thursday) are subject to the regular writing rate of $99 per release.

    Another one is being delayed for a bit, so that means there's another spot open. Since I decided to work through this weekend and since a spot was just re-opened, I'll allow sale orders to come in through tomorrow (Friday). I can still add one or two yet to tomorrow's worklist, and anything else would likely be written over the weekend.
