    Chose PR Newswire
    We did do some research before selecting PR Newswire a number of years ago, and we saw that PR Newswire was certainly an industry leader and that the pricing was for the most part competitive with other companies. Ultimately, we choose PR Newswire because the dashboard is very …

    24-7 Press Release
    It is very well suited for quick distribution to +100 sites usually. It would be good if it would also distribute more internationally and to more sites as well as this helps with spreading the news. If possible, it would be nice if they also offered same day distribution. Outside of this it does what I need it to do.

    PR Newswire is the best platform for the wide distribution of press releases. We have been using it to make announcements about our company, new products, new partnerships, and other formal information that needs wider distribution than we can provide on our own. It is not as well suited to more organic or topical information, such as a blog or commentary.

    Cons
    24-7 Press Release
    • Distributing to even more sites
    • Their higher tier packages have at over a 1 day turnaround and make it inconvenient for very fresh news

    • Pricing - PR Newswire is expensive. I don't think this is necessary something they need to improve upon as their pricing does include a lot and is comparable to what other similar companies charge, but the pricing structure does price out smaller companies or public relations agencies.

    PR Newswire is an industry leader and gives the user the ability to send out a press release, to a wide audience, very quickly and easily. The pricing is on par with other companies (perhaps they are a bit higher) but they do send useful "visibility" reports after a release is distributed, which is helpful when trying to explain ROI to C suite leaders. You also can email or fax your own distribution list, which is helpful and reduces the need for a media monitoring service

    Honestly this is probably the absolute worst part of the company. I had maybe 5 different emails from 5 different people when attempting to use this service, and I never knew who my account manager was and who the other people were.

    PR Newswire and Businesswire are familiar, similar products in terms of newswire distribution services. Many times it comes down to client familiarity with one service over the other, the cost per distribution, the reach of distribution, as well as other related fees, i.e., you have to be a member of PR Newswire to use the service and then pay fees on top of that for individual distributions.

    Return on Investment
    24-7 Press Release
    • Some PRs have appeared on some first searches of Google. This is good
    • Distribution can sometimes be stagnant (i.e - the same sites only) thus results don't look like they're growing.

    • We lost one of our pre paid distributions due to the expiration date
    • We would like to see more communication between the client and the representative or account manager
    • We have had success in getting larger publications to pick up our over the wire publication
