Many news and press release sites now have auto tweet buttons such as Tweetmeme or Twitthis. As an increasing amount of these releases are being tweeted through this method it’s well worth making sure the relevant people are exposed to your release via Twitter. These tweet buttons produce a tweet using the press release title and include a shortened url to the press release.
Twitterfying Your Press Release
Twitterfying your press release is a great way of ensuring that your press release receives as much exposure to relevant people as possible.
It is extremely simple to do too.
- Make sure you have an eye catching title
- Include a relevant word in the title
- Place a hash (#) tag against the relevant word
This makes sure anybody tweeting or retweeting the press release includes the topic tag, giving it the best chance of being seen by your target audience.
