What’s Collegiate Presswire all about? Collegiate Presswire is a press distribution company whose sole focus is the
nation's collegiate media. We have relationships with over 600 college media outlets and
700 editors, in all 50 states -- all of whom have asked to receive our daily news-feed.
And that's not to mention that we also syndicate our full-feed of wire
copy to ScreamingMedia and iSyndicate, two leading content aggregators
with thousands of website clients worldwide.
2. Why should I use Collegiate Presswire?
If you are looking to get the most for your marketing
dollars, Collegiate Presswire is your best option. Our cost for distributing your press
release to our full national distribution list is less than it would cost you to run a
quarter-page ad for one day in one large university newspaper.
3. How does the service work?
It's quite simple, actually. When you have a press release,
media alert, news-flash or story that you want to send to the nation's collegiate media,
give it to us and we'll deliver it to the people you are trying to reach. We can send it
via e-mail or fax (and even through the postal system) as your needs require.
4. Will my press release receive attention?
When you use Collegiate Presswire, your news is never lost
in a sea of headlines. Because our newswire only includes a handful of stories each day,
editors will not have to sift through hundreds of irrelevant stories to find the diamond
in the rough -- your press release. Also, keep in mind that we've developed long-standing
relationships with our member schools and as a result, they look to Collegiate Presswire
on a daily basis as their source for high-quality press materials and information for
their publication.
5. How do I know if my story has been picked up?
There is no definitive answer to that question. However,
our PressWatch service currently monitors over 200 online campus newspapers each day. We
have successfully monitored the largest online college newspapers for article placements,
as well as mentions of brand names, trademarks and competitors. PressWatch is also great
for monitoring hot issues and topics on college campuses -- keeping you informed of what's
being said on campus, and who they are saying it about.
6. What are the CPFeatures, and why
should I sponsor them?
Hungry for material for their paper, college editors asked
us if we could provide them with additional content such as cartoons, crossword puzzles
and more. We agreed, provided the editors would allow us to run a brand-credit within each
feature. So you see, it's a win-win situation for all: Editors get more content, and you
have the opportunity to place your brand name in front of their readers for a fraction of
the cost of a traditional advertisement.
7. OK, I'm convinced. Now what?
Just give us a call at (888) 621-7721 to get started. We
can explain more and send you a kit with all of our information. It's that
easy. And we can begin putting Collegiate Presswire to work for your products and services
as soon as you hang up. |
