Society for New Communications Research Study Finds That Press Releases Are Not Just for Press Anymore; Research Sponsored by Vocus, Inc. The press release is no longer just a tool for public relations professionals. In fact, marketing professionals and small business owners now use press releases with just as much frequency as PR professionals, according to a new Society for New Communications Research study, "Exploring the ROI of Online Press Releases," which was sponsored by SNCR Vendor Council member Vocus. Furthermore, the press release was once used to attract the attention of journalists and media outlets. Now, it is used to accomplish a much greater range of goals including reaching bloggers, driving website traffic, and search engine optimization (SEO). The results of the study will be shared in a presentation led by SNCR executive director Jen McClure at the 2008 Vocus Users Conference, which will be held June 4-6 in Washington, DC. - 2008-06-02
 | Society for New Communications Research Seeks Participants for Study Sponsored by Vocus, "Exploring the ROI of Online Press Releases"
The Society for New Communications Research has launched a new research study, sponsored by Vocus, titled "Exploring the ROI of Online Press Releases." Through a survey and case studies, the research team will explore how the value of press releases has traditionally been measured and how that is changing as a result of how press releases are being used by the PR/marketing profession today. It will address the question: What are appropriate measurements of value today? And it will explore the larger question of how the PR profession is evolving. The SNCR invites public relations and marketing professionals to participate in this research survey. All participants will receive a complimentary copy of the executive summary of the final report and a special discount to attend New Communications Forum, April 22-25, in Sonoma County, Calif., where the initial findings will be released in a special session. - 2008-03-31 |
