The team of IDEADECO SEO Copywriting Agency organized the workshop: How to Create Successful Press Releases Workshop by IDEADECO on Monday 9 May 2022. The workshop took place at Spaces Theanous 15, Kerameikos, Athens. In five hours all attendees learned the necessary steps and tips to make their Press Releases irresistible to the public eye.
Press Releases
Press releases are one of the best tools for marketing your business. Even if you’re a small business, they can help boost your online presence and reach a new audience. Moreover, how you create and distribute your press release matters a lot, too.
While some people see them as nothing more than a hassle, to others (like me) they’re an extremely effective form of promotion that any content creator or blogger, or website owner can take advantage of.
Used correctly, a press release can land you first page rankings in Google for your target keyword, depending on how competitive it is. The thing about them is that if you want your press release to result in the best possible promotion, you need to produce a high-quality one and get it shared on lots of different websites. You also need to make sure that you don’t spam your target audience.
As most participants said: “If you’ve never created a press release before, or are just looking for ways to improve yours, then this workshop is for you!”
