I really like this type of Press Releases for events. I always get excited when writing about an upcoming interesting event, even if I know that I will not be attending it.

I always imagine my press release has helped turn an event into a sensation; that the words that I have written have moved the readers and have made them fill in an empty seat in a hall. I have motivated their decision to become part of a grand event.

With these Press Releases, it’s important not to miss the details which will allow the participants to find and attend your event.

Whether you’re hosting a private party for a client, concert, conference or a festival for thousands, you need to identify the purpose of your news announcement and your target group correctly. The goal of your press release could be to sell a certain number of early bird tickets, boost sales of certain brands, increase team leadership, announce a generous sponsorship package, promote community loyalty, or generate leads for the event. 

You can offer potential participants added value through information, products and services. This gives your customers the feeling of receiving a benefit and not just participating in a live action commercial.

Such marketing campaigns can allow you to connect creatively with your audience, increase visitor numbers and provide a better experience.

To simplify the preparation and writing process, we have compiled a press release event checklist.
Here’s what your media publishers and target audience would like to know about your event.

Your Press Release should include the following information:

  • Catchy headline
  • Host organization/ organizer company name 
  • Registration URL and requirements
  • Company or event logo
  • Type of event
    • Event name
    • Target audience
    • Topic of the event
    • Location, date, time, duration, participation fee
    • Ticket prices and how to purchase them
    • Guests, speakers, showcase, performers
  • Quote from organizers, performances, sponsors, previous attendees, critics
  • The event website URL
  • Dateline
  • Boilerplate – About the organizer
    Contact Information (contact person, address, phone)

Unlike traditional advertising, which appeals to millions of consumers, event marketing targets specific individuals or groups by collecting spots that convey high-quality individual impressions.

  1. I use 1.18mm lead almost exclusively because I press too hard when I write. I’m currently a college student so I have to write a lot. It certainly wouldn’t do to have my leads always breaking. I’ve met many people with the same problem. Perhaps the pencil companies should market the .9mm more and bring back the 1.1mm?
