+1 for this answer.

 

A press release is for the release of a new product or product feature. It reads sort of like a glorified advertisement.

An article should not read like an advertisement. Mentions of products should be "natural." They should be informative.

 

A press release is basically like a news article as you find relating to one particular brand of service. For instance if apple released a new mobile phone, they would obviously send out a press release regarding the same. An article on the other hand would simply be a describing affordable new mobile phone would do

Article and Press releases are used to promote and increase the popularity of a product. An article is a document that you would create and submit to an online directory. Article should contain the information relevant to your product or the services that you offer. While press release should not be general, it should carry the information related to a specific product, service, or offer.

 

I am satisfied with @Frank_Stone

 

PR is hard-sell promotion. Article is soft-sell. I think that's the straightfoward difference between the two.

 

I am also satisfied with you...

Yes i am agree with you

 

Press releases are official statements issued by companies and organizations to print, television and radio media. These press releases may be purely factual and address a specific issue or concern, or they may be more promotional in nature. Some press releases are generated in-house by authorized employees, while others are produced by outside public relations firms contracted by the company or organization.

Articles can be written on any topic including ur services, about ur company....

 

Article: In articles, most of the time, we try not to promote ourselves too much because that's not the main purpose of article marketing. The purpose of the article is to disseminate information, share expert knowledge and tips to an industry, market or process. The only part where we promote ourselves is at the end of the article.

Press Release : Now, with a press release, the game is a little different because the press release IS written with the purpose of promoting one's products, services or brand. It's got a little bit of a 'news' element in it - we're trying to keep to that as much as possible without veering off too much on the self-praise bit and that is what a press release is all about.

 

Already all guys are superbly explained about article and press release..

Article is written as third party,which contain summary of topic and some brief description where PR is written for service promote and other new think which you provide for others like offers for [example Catering Service offers 5% less] ,discounts,etc.I hope you got my point.

 

Online press releases are meant to relay newsworthy information about a company, product, service, event, etc. They are more often than not self-serving, strategic marketing tools. This doesn’t have to be a negative connotation, as many businesspeople want to stay current on happenings within their own company, industry or to keep an eye on competitors.

Online articles can be about almost anything. If they are written well, and perceived by readers as an interesting and objective source of information, they can spread online like wildfire with a little help from our new friend social media. SMO success depends greatly on your subject’s position and article title. People love lists, and personally I have had great success positioning client-related articles with Top 10’s and the like. Don’t angle your article around the premise “Why You Should Buy Air Conditioners From Us”. Put one together called “How to Store Air Conditioners During Winter” – or better yet, “Top 10 Tips for Winter Air Conditioner Storage”. Do you see where I’m going with this?

 

There are lot of Difference between Article and PR sites, In Article Directory You should write article or any choice and you can submit this article in various article directories while on the other hand you can only write Press Release for your company and make PR more interesting you can put facts and figures in the PR as well...

 

You can write articles on any theme any topic but press release will describes only your new product or company it is basically used for promotion only.
