Why do PRMinds offer a press release distribution service?

Every company and organization should have access to the media, regardless of its size and there are still many opportunities left to optimize the way this is done. Many organizations desire to break away from traditional wire services and explore new opportunities where targeted releasing is widely believed to realise the most effective results.

For this very reason, many interesting stories are currently overlooked on traditional wire services, in fact many products and services would never make it to market without a service like PRMinds.

If you are an editor, journalist or freelance writer we invite you to subscribe to our daily news feed.

 

From where is the PRMinds offering initiated?

Hurricane Consulting Group (owner/editor of PRMinds.com) and it's partner iChannel365 Ltd, part of the ChannelMinds Network, are the companies behind PRMinds.

We began running European IT and Telecoms dedicated information services in October 2002, pioneering free online news distribution.

 

How are press releases distributed through PRMinds?

Distribution is handled through several online communication channels: PRMinds.com, email distribution, through free news syndication feeds and the syndicated news website Links2News.com.

Email Distribution

PRMinds owns and actively maintains a database of approximately 40 000 IT and Telecoms focused media contacts, newsrooms, industry analysts, and freelance writers who receive daily email listings of press releases their matching interest and focus criteria.

Links2News.com

Each press release distributed through our service is included on the syndicated news portal Links2News.com and published in a dedicated press wire.

 

Can I distribute my press release for FREE?

Unfortunately this is not possible.

Traditional wire services typically charge between €350 and €2000 per release. We believe that this financial aspect of press release distribution needs updating.

The idea is that when asking a fee it should be completely justifiable which we believe our proposed services are. With a realistic and affordable investment this not only make PRMinds interesting to larger corporations but it also enables the small and midsized company to enter the ‘PR' arena.

In return, every PRMinds User will receive 100% IT and Telecoms dedicated distribution services, targeted email distribution, measurable results through live statistics and guaranteed online exposure.

 
I'm a journalist, why should I open a journalist/editor PRMinds account?

The most important reason is to ensure that relevant IT and Telecoms press releases are forwarded to you.

Another important reason is related to our main objectives during the creation and development of PRMinds. We believe that PRMinds enables a more effective delivery and access to your IT and Telecoms focus areas.

It is often the case that PR wire services are too general, where industry topics are referenced simply as ‘Technology' or ‘Telecoms', rendering the service quite ineffective.

PRMinds helps you to manage your personal ‘News Stream'. Register here for a PRMinds journalist/editor account.

 

Do PRMinds charge fees for a journalist/editor PRMinds account?

No Fees! PRMinds is a free service offered to qualified journalists, editors and media outlets.

How long does my press release remain online?

Your release remains online until it is outdated by newly distributed releases. PRMinds homepage displays the last 15 releases. Your communication remains in the PRMinds press center until it has been removed by yourself which can be done by simply logging into your account and click the Delete link.

Normally, the releases are left online since this is an effective way of informing the media how you have evolved as an organization.

 
Does PRMinds ever reject press releases?

Yes, we do under certain circumstances. Press releases that can be rejected are those perceived to potentially undermine a third party. Also we will only process and accept press releases which are in our standard press release format. PRMinds reserves the right to refuse all press releases containing ‘out of target' content.

PRMinds will not verify any of the news or proofread any of the press releases. Correct grammar and spelling are the submitter's responsibility.

 
Do PRMinds distribution services guarantee that the media will use your press release?

Unfortunately a guarantee is simply impossible as we are unable to control the actions of the media. However, consider and approach PRMinds can be approached as your online delivery service. Our service is built upon trusted, influential and intelligent targeting methodology. PRMinds is a press release delivery service with outstanding data resources and intelligently developed segmentation and targeting tools.

These days, journalists receive a tremendous amount of press releases from which many are actually outside their focus area. This ‘problem', PRMinds have successfully solved in that releases that originate from PRMinds' have automatically more weight and credibility because of PRMinds' relevant and focus matching content.
