Welcome to the PR Toolkit for Small Business

At PR Newswire we understand the challenges small businesses and entrepreneurs face.  You’re wearing multiple hats throughout the day and after you’re done wearing the president, bookkeeper and webmaster hats it can be difficult to find the time to promote your small business.  The reality is, by finding the time to issue a simple news release you can help your small business grow faster.

News releases? You mean those exclusive notices that major corporations send out to newspapers, radio and television in hopes of getting their name in print? Sure, you may be thinking, that's fine for Microsoft and General Motors but who's interested in me and my small business? The answer: thousands of media, investors and potential customers.

PR Newswire sends thousands of news releases out every year—many for small businesses and entrepreneurs just like you.  These companies benefit because their releases get read by media across the country and, very often, result in a written article.  Additionally, if you’re interested in a Web audience you can distribute your news releases to more than 4,000 Web sites, databases and online services like Yahoo!, MSN.com, and AOL.com-- giving your release a potential audience of millions. This is great news for entrepreneurs and small business owners.

The PR Toolkit is designed to help you understand the basics of public relations and how PR Newswire can help you cost-effectively create visibility for your small business, products or services.  Please enjoy the valuable small business resources (tips and educational articles) contained in this site, and if at any time you would like to speak to a PR Newswire representative, please select Request Information.
