Media Coverage
Another key aspect of building awareness for a site launch is to seek coverage from the online media
community. This is another area in which you can benefit from third-party experience. When you go in search of press contacts for a web launch, you're dealing with a whole new genre of publications and contacts. These can be loosely defined as the following:
- Online news sites
- E-zines
- Awards sites
- Any other outlets that cover web happenings
While email is a popular way of reaching the media, many media people still prefer fax or phone. Make sure you find the right editors for your subject. If you think you might need help in this area, take a look at the Comparative Feature Chart I maintain on my promotion site, URLWire. It will show you what's offered by better-known email news release services and help you decide which one is right for you.
