Atricle Dump - Smashing the Myth of the Press Release
If you have an advertising campaign that works online, odds are that it will work offline as well; perhaps even better. What’s great about advertising online is the ability to test an ad to find the secret combination of headline and copy that pulls. Once you’ve got a winning ad online it’s time to take it off the ranch and into the city - - the city newspaper that is. Try to run the ad in as many newspapers as possible.

Publicity "gurus" are springing up all over the Internet touting the press release as the answer to all marketing ills. Just knock out a release, mass e-mail it to journalists, sit back and wait for Oprah to call.
