20 Reasons to Publish An Insurance Press Release

  
  
  

When was the last time you sent out a press release? If you’re like many insurance professionals, you think of press releases as something you submit to local newspapers with no control over the outcome. However, like many marketing activities, press releases have been revolutionized by the power of the Internet. Today, most press releases are distributed through online services. This means that your release can be picked up by 50 to 100 online media sources within 48 hours or less – all linking back to your website.

If you strategically write the release to target keyword phrases, insurance press releases can improve your chances of being found online. In fact, some companies strive to put out a press release at least once a month to help keep insurance website traffic and search results strong. Insurance press releases are particularly helpful for companies with national scope.

Heather! This is a great post. I love press releases and I think they are under-utilized, especially by the insurance industry who tends to think "we don't have anything new to say". Nothing could be further from the truth and you've done a great job of listing 20 great ways for insurance professionals to share their important announcements. I'll be sharing this with my insurance professional clients. Thanks!
