Overall Satisfaction with Newswire

Spreading the word about music releases and tours.
  • Easy to enter press releases.
  • You're billed before the process of servicing the release is done.
  • Don't know where the releases go.
  • Get billed for additional words AFTER you've already paid the initial fee and then get billed for the extra words.
  • EXTREMELY LOW pick up rate. Spent $449.00 and had eight people open the release.
  • VERY little.
Easy to upload press release.
I haven't used other services, but I will definitely look into them after this.

Yes

Would you buy Newswire again?

No

Easy to enter press release and choose distribution list. However, you have NO idea where the press release is going. In my experience, you're billed for the release before it goes out, and you're billed (separate bill) for additional words. I spent $449.00 and had EIGHT people open the release. In my opinion, that should be embarrassing to Newswire.
