About Us

 

Press Release Services

 

You can get a lot of mileage out of a simple press release these days. VA Newswire can ensure that your news gets comprehensive statewide or even national distribution. We also provide tools that allow you to track how well it’s getting read.

 

Here is the menu of services we offer:

 

Press Release Writing

 

The VA Newswire press-release writing service takes out the guesswork. No more wondering how much someone will charge you – or whether anyone will understand what you’ve written. Here’s what you get with VA Newswire:

 

  • We will engage a professional writer with business reporting experience.

  • Our writer will spend up to one hour consulting with your designated contacts to extract the information you want to convey.  

  • Our writer will write a press release with a clear storyline -- and bottom line – for journalists and editors.  

  • Your press release will be edited by an editor with years of business writing experience.  

  • We will submit the press release to you for up to two rounds of review and approval.  

  • Automatic submission in VA Newswire. (Note: It will be treated as news if it meets our press release guidelines, and marked as “sponsored” content otherwise.)  

  • Flat price: $500

 

Press Release Distribution

 

  • State, regional or national distribution. VA Newswire will distribute your press release through either BusinessWire or PR Newswire as a value-added service for no extra charge. Here’s what BusinessWire charges for press releases up to 400 words in length on commonly demanded circuits:  

    • Virginia circuit: $125

    • Southeastern Regional circuit: $300

    • National circuit: $595  

(Note: There is an additional charge for each 100 words, or fraction thereof, over 400 words.)

 

  • Friends and Associates distribution. VA Newswire will distribute your press release by email to individuals in your business contact list. This service includes:  

·         Setting up an e-mail account with 303 Media

 

·         Downloading your e-mail lists – which must be submitted in an Excel spreadsheet – into your subscriber database

 

·         Distribution of your press release on 303 Media’s e-mail server

 

·         Readership report, which includes click-through reports from your e-mail and VA Newswire (if applicable), plus total page views from other sources. Find out if anyone's responding to your message!

 

·         Charge: $500

303 Media, VA Newswire’s e-mail solutions provider, also can design a professional template for e-mail distribution of your press releases. Make sure readers can navigate from your press release to content on your website!
