• Avoid clichés
• Pick an angle
• Use anchor text and features
• Illustrate the solution
• Don’t be afraid to toot your own horn

Don’ts:

• All capital letters to emphasize anything
• Grammatical errors
• Lack of content and substance
• Advertisements or promotional language
• Hype
• Words “you???, “I???, or “we??? outside of a quoted statement

Your press release should not look like or read like an advertisement, direct marketing, or an open letter. The timeliness of the information being presented is also critical. When creating a press release, there must be a reason your organization is announcing the information.

Always remember to make sure charts and graphs can be displayed properly; convert them into images or PDFs so all browsers can display the information on a tablet, smartphone, or computer.

Press releases should be kept between 300-800 words. However, if you do not have enough content for more than a few sentences, then it is not worth introducing to the public. Hold off until you have more content that will interest the readers.
