How to Use News Releases as a Marketing Tool

pandora
5 minutes

HONG KONG – Surprisingly, 20% of NovationWire’s respondents advised they do not even use a press release as a part of their marketing strategy. As we have mentioned in the past, sending out a press release when Users have newsworthy information to share makes sense. The key word here is “newsworthy.” The information should be newsworthy and useful to journalists or customers’ general audience. It is important to note that when Users send out insignificant news on a regular basis, it will only alienate yourself and company from journalists. And just like the “boy who cried wolf,” people will not pay attention when they find that customers’ news is usually trivial, exaggerated or misleading–Users must be credible. What is customers’ typical preferred reach? In the pre-Internet world, unless Users were a big national company, the news Users wanted to announce would more than likely have been either local or hyperlocal news. Times have changed, and the Internet has opened opportunities for businesses to have customers reaching them from around the globe. In NovationWire’s survey, the majority of businesses distributing a news release on a newswire service selected ‘national’ as their c...

Trainer wheels for children to learn to handle plastic money

(NYTIMES) - Introducing your child to the real-world use of money often means hacking together half-baked solutions: jars stuffed with bills combined with repeated trips to the ATM and teenage misuse of the parental credit card. So the right piece of prepaid plastic - loaded by parents who can set limits - makes all the sense in the world. You have plenty of options, many of which you may never have heard of before. Frequently, they cloak their offerings in a superhero's cape of financial literacy through practice. That's a great concept, in theory. But any time a company seeks profit on the backs of our offspring, we ought to raise our eyebrows and hold on to our wallets. That's especially true when most of them want us to hook our bank accounts to their products. You might be scared off by this, but I'm not. There's a way to do it well and pick a product that works for you. Features matter - but not as much as how they align with your financial philosophy. Every conversation about money is a conversation about values waiting to happen, and these products can help inspire those discussions with your child. But as valuable as those fireside family chats are to your kids, they're no...

Big money in storage business

(NYTIMES) - Early in the pandemic, Ms Katharine Lau, a commercial real estate professional, turned her focus to decluttering, and as she stared at a pile of unneeded things, she wondered how she could save them despite her lack of space. "It was the first time I thought about self-storage as a business, which I always thought was so unsexy and so uncool that I didn't want to get involved," she said. "But I began to think about whether I could monetise under-utilised pieces of existing commercial real estate and pair it with technology." The company she created, Stuf Storage, sets out to do just that. With US$1.8 million (S$2.45 million) in seed funding announced in December, Stuf joins a big, disaggregated industry. More than 30,000 owners operate roughly 55,000 self-storage facilities nationwide, according to statistics from the Self Storage Association, a trade group. Five publicly traded real estate investment trusts with storage businesses - like Public Storage and CubeSmart - are ubiquitous along highways and in industrial areas, but "the industry remains largely made up of small-business owners", said Mr Timothy J. Dietz, president and CEO of the trade organisation. Before th...

SINGAPORE - A housewife who abused her two daughters, aged six and 10, breaking the older child's front teeth, was on Wednesday (Sept 29) sentenced to three years' jail. The woman's offences came to light when her 37-year-old husband returned home and found his daughter's teeth broken. He took the child to KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH) and the hospital later alerted the police. The abuse continued while the police were investigating her case and when she was out on bail. Before handing down the sentence on Wednesday, District Judge Kessler Soh addressed the woman, who appeared in court via video link, and told her: "Discipline (your children) if you must but do so appropriately." He also hopes that she will not "take it out" on her children again. On Sept 16, the mother, now 38, admitted to seven counts of abusing her daughters. Four other similar charges were considered during sentencing. The woman, who cannot be named to protect the victims' identities, also has a son whose age was not stated in court documents. A psychiatric report found that the woman was not suffering from any mental illness at the time of the offences. The court heard that in December 2018, her hus...
