Do it Yourself or Have the Pros Write Your Press Release?

Many companies hire public relations firms to handle their press releases and that is fine.  Chances are they will be professionally written and sent to niche markets, most likely by standard mail or special courier.  This is probably the most costly method.  You may also have accomplished staff writers within your company who are capable of writing adequate press releases.  This method is often more cost-effective because the employee is already being paid for his or her time.  If, however, the release is not as well written as it could be, the cost effective benefits will be nullified, because the chances of the press release not receiving media attention will be increased.  You must, then, rely on expensive advertising to achieve exposure for your company, product or service.
