You might be asking, what’s the importance of press releases? After all, you advertise your business and spend good money to get the word out about the invaluable services you are providing your customers. You might be thinking that you have no need for press releases or the media; you’re not in the business of making news, but of making money.

Well, you might be surprised to discover that there’s a simple answer to why press releases for your business are so important. Most people never think about it, they are more concerned with creating a successful company, but once they do, and follow through, in just a short period of time — weeks or just a few months — they may begin to see a major change in the way the media, and most importantly, their clients, see them.

Advertising and publicity are two completely separate tools that businesses often confuse with each other.*While advertising is used to keep your company, products, and/or services in the mind of the public, publicity that is presented in the form of a news-worthy story is usually viewed in a more trusted and positive light by the general public.
