Got more to come.
In a client meeting in Austin last week, a longtime Business Wire client asked how much I thought it cost to WRITE a press release.
After working in the press release business for more than 20 years and being constantly quizzed about the cost of SENDING releases, never had I been asked the cost of producing a press release.
Obviously it depends on the release. But the client revealed that with staff and legal costs tallied, his company spent about $5,000 to write a press release. Add to that distribution–anywhere from $180 to $18,000–and that’s a significant investment.
IT IS EASIER TO SPREAD FEAR THAN IT IS TO INSTILL HOPE
