If you are looking for an effective way to announce the forthcoming opening of a new business office, facility or establishment, you would want to observe some basic rules.
You’d like to share the news about the grand opening, but most importantly open invitations; to create a buzz about your business, to put it on the map and in the heads of potential customers; to make everyone in your area aware about its existence and operation.
Media outlets can be an essential ally when announcing your business office opening. Usually locally based papers and websites will be more likely to give editorial preference to small local events and businesses.
But … even though your press release might have the proper messaging and details and might easily attract the attention of local media, for greater exposure and brand awareness, it needs to be written in the right tone, structure and style to entice journalist and prospects to read it and to connect with your business.
Keep in mind the interests and needs of your target audience and tailor your message accordingly.
Your Press Release should include the following information:
-
- Catchy headline
- Details about the business
- name
- niche, mission, operation
- products/services
- owner, manager, founder
- location
- Quote from involved parties – founder, investor, manager (recommended)
- Relevant image: business logo, office building, owner, CEO, manager, investor, products (recommended)
- Company website URL
- Release date
- Dateline
-
- Boilerplate – about the business;
- Contact information (contact person, company address, phone)
If you want to get the best bang for your buck, we recommend that you include the most important relevant information in your promotion announcement but without overwhelming the reader with too many details. Also, you should provide opportunities for your reader to find more information about your news and your business.
Have a look at the following sample press release to get a better idea as to how your announcement should read and sound. To boost the visibility for your business proper techniques should be applied to the writing of the business grand opening announcement: e.g get straight to the point in a clever, elegant opening; avoid opening with ineffective phrases and statements that might lose the reader and get on the way of the real message; avoid misrepresenting opinions as facts in your press release.
