There are many press release distribution companies in the industry nowadays who are offering distribution services. Most of the companies claim to have thousands of journalists within their reach. However, as a customer, the most important factor is how much exposure they will get and how many of the journalists/media outlets actually pick up and publish their press release. This review will provide you a brief introduction on three highly recognized press release distribution companies(PRWeb, Ereleases, and PRDistribution.com) and comparison of their pricing.
PRWeb is providing press release distribution services to their customers for more than 15 years now. They are a subsidiary of a large corporation named Cision. Their clients need to create an account by signing up on their website in order to submit their press releases. You will find four different press release distribution plans offered by PRWeb which are the Basic, Standard, Advanced, and the Premium PR distribution plan priced by $99, $189, $289 and $389, subsequently. PRWeb claims to make a press release “Go Viral” with their premium distribution plan, however, they do not guarantee where the PR will be distributed or how many media outlets might pick up the press releases.
One of the positive factors about their service is that they do offer a permanent placement of the PR on their website, which can be used as a backlink for a long time. You can get your press release live within a 4-hour deadline by paying an additional $99 on top of the distribution cost.
PRDistribution.com is a leader in the press release distribution industry who thrive to provide a hundred percent customer satisfaction, with over 15 years of experience in digital marketing as well. You don’t need to create an account for submitting your press releases. Three different distribution plans are offered by PRDistribution.com which are, the Premium ($69), Premium Pro ($129) and the Premium Concierge PR Distribution plan which is designed to have a mass outreach to thousands of journalists and guaranteed distribution to over 400 media outlets. The Premium and Premium Concierge plan includes distribution to top-tier newswire such as ABC, CBS, Bloomberg, FOX, NBC, Forbes etc. Their customers receive “Comprehensive Reporting” on their press release within 48 business hours after the distribution. Also, their customer experience agents are available on chat during the business hours for considering urgent distribution requests without any extra cost.
Compared to PRWeb, their submission and PR distribution process is quite simple and takes less time. PRDistribution.com is diligently helping people who need help in writing their press releases with the PRCopywriter service, having professional and highly experienced writers in the team. They help the customers in crafting effective press releases and the customers also lucrative discounts upon using both the writing and distribution services.
eReleases is one of the oldest press release distribution company found by Mickey Kennedy in 1988. They don’t seem to have too many detailed information on their website and the site itself is not easily accessible from different locations. They specifically provide distribution services targeting Google News, Global news sites, Websites, Bloggers, Social Networks and wire services. Like PRWeb, eReleases customers also have to create an account to submit their press releases, however, they do offer a free service that can be found on their website.
In a recent review, it was revealed that the PR distribution plans start from $299. The Buzz builder, Newsmaker and PR Pro are the three distribution plans offered by eReleases which cost $299, $499 and $499.
Hopefully, after reading this article, you have a basic understanding of how these companies work and who might be a better option for you. If you have a hefty budget for your press release, then you might go for eReleases, as PRWeb will not guarantee where your press release is going to be distributed. However, seems PRDistribution.com seems like a choice who are looking for a good return on their investment.
