Jewelry Publicity with an Online Press Release-Free and Paid

I found this artistic jewelry entrepreneur resource that lists a variety of free and paid services for online press releases. Plus, there are some links to articles that you will want to read or bookmark for when you have time.
I have personally used Pr Leap and PR.com with great success. What online services have you used for your jewelry business? Leave a comment!

When I first started my jewelry business I had relatively few press/media contacts and was overwhelmed by the thought of writing my own press release and submitting it to reporters, editors and product review blogs. This is NOT something that you can put off if you want to experience success with your business! I encourage you to take the time to education and grow in the area of marketing/PR/publicity. I found Joan Stewart's Publicity Hound site to be very helpful when I first started my learning curve! Do you have a resource you would like to share? Leave a comment!

Press Release Resources

If you are looking for a variety of media contacts (TV,newspaper,magazine,& radio), have you checked out Gebbie Press?

At Gebbie Press, you can buy sets or just target sets to help you get your press release in the right hands. Plus, if you've never written a press release before they have some very basic information on how to write a press release.

My absolute favorite resource for learning how to write press releases and get publicity have come from the Publicity Hound-Joan Stewart. When I first started marketing my handcrafted jewelry, I was riveted to computer screen and found her information easy to read and follow!

Like anything else ,if it is your first time it can be a little scary and hard to get motivated. Do a little research in your targets (magazine, newspaper, etc...) and clip articles that have grabbed your attention and model "the formula" used with your content. Do this a couple of times and it will start getting easier to come up with fabulous press releases that editors will want to print!
