Some Key Things to Remember:
• Stay away from hype-bloated phrases like "breakthrough", "unique", "state-of-the-art",
etc.
• Keep an unbiased point of view. Never use "I" or "we" unless it's in a quote.
• Get ideas from news media sites, such as the New York Times or the Washington
Post to get a feel for the style.
• Stay clear and concise. Try to keep it between 500-800 words.
Q: How much traffic can each Press Release attract?
A: This really depends on the demand for the topic and how relevant and useful the
press release is. For example, if a sudden viral outbreak occurred and your press
release contained information on how to prevent yourself from catching it, many
people would be searching for this information. Yours might not be the only source
of information, so to put a definite amount of traffic for each Press Release is
not actually possible with so many different factors to consider.

A: Press release is distributed according to scheduled time and distribution report
will be ready within 24 hours.

Q: What's this 'Company Logo' Attachment in Agency Submission?
A: This is basically a feature of the branded report. So if you're sending PRs on
behalf of your clients, and you do not wish to show that it's from SARDNEWS (which
we're completely fine with, of course), then you can insert your own company's logo
(image size: 400×250, file size: 500kb) to brand the report accordingly as your
company.
Q: How do I upload my company's logo into the branded report?
A: Simply go to 'Edit My Profile' (through your dashboard), and look for the field
which says, 'Your Photo' to upload your image. Once successfully uploaded, your
company's logo will appear in your new distribution report.
