But to perfect a more professional result follow our 10 Top Tips:

1. Play it straight - don't try and be too quirky with the headline,leave the clever stuff to the  journalist!
   
   
2. Who, what, why, where, when should be stated in the opening paragraph.  No rambling introductions required.
   
   
3. Keep it succinct, most press releases are no longer than 300 words.  Also ensure that newsworthy content is included in the first half of the release - journalists tend to edit from the bottom-up.
   
   
4. Target your message to your audience.  What business benefits will visitors achieve by visiting your stand at Interbuild?  What makes your company stand out from the crowd?
   
   
5. Include a quote from a relevant company spokesperson within the release (this would usually be the managing director or marketing representative).
   
   
6. Try and tie into a current industry theme.  For example, does your product offer any environmental benefits? Has it been  specifically designed to comply with current regulations? Does it  offer a solution to a common problem encountered across the industry or its end-user?
   
   
7. Select an impactful image to illustrate your release.  Images must be hi-resolution (300dpi) and at least 7" x 5". JPEGS, TIFF or EPS files are accepted.
   
   
8. Include contact details for further press information, as well as
   reader enquiries.  A journalist or reader may wish to contact you.
   
   
9. Include a 'Notes to Editor' at the end of the release containing background information on the company and its areas of expertise. Again, keep it brief.
   
   
10. For best results seek the services of a top PR agency or freelancer!
