Press releases work!

Don't be put off sending out a press release, I used JG's sample press release and within an hour I had my local paper on the phone asking when could they send the photograper round - couple of days later I'm in the paper!!

granted I don't live in the bigest city but newspapers are clamouring for positive stories at the moment!

They definitely do work!

I have been featured on a local paper, a local internet based news website and a fairly popular Glasgow newspaper!

I threw in my justgiving page to the local paper too (hadn't made the page when i was interviewed for the bigger paper!), so that should be published tomorrow!

I can second this, i am in my local paper this week http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/south-wales-news/rhondda/2009/05/07/long-march-honours-adventurer-s-spirit-91466-23548306/ and as a result have been given £10 and promised another £100! And hte paper have said they will publicise my events as well, so should do pretty well out of them

I'll be in another regional paper on Thursday, hopefully that will get me more!
