Introduction

The purpose of an Online Press Center, may be quite different than that of a printed Press Kit. A traditional printed Press Kit is a package, usually contained in a nice folder that you would send out to press contacts or that you would hand out at a press conference.

An Online Press Center can also function to provide information for the press or potential advertisers. However, your customers and other visitors to your site may also read your online Press Center.

I'd like to clarify that The Write Market is not a professional advertising agency in the traditional sense of sending out press releases and developing traditional press kits. You could call us a web advertising agency. We specialize in writing and graphics that sell on the web.

Therefore, the following tutorial will be focused on writing a press center that will be web based. If you are considering using the material to develop an offline press kit, you may also need to consider hiring an agency to do the writing and the press campaign for you.

Unfortunately, hiring an agency, can be way out of reach for a small business budget. Thus, we will give you examples and explain the elements of a press center, in order that you may be able to accomplish writing some of it yourself.

Be sure to check out the articles section that contains several helpful articles on Press Relations, Press Kits and Media Kits.
