Since most press or media people will request a press kit, it’s time for you to put one together. A press kit is nothing more than a collection of editorial and promotional materials that are distributed to the media, as well as prospects and clients, which include information about you, your solutions and the reasons you’re “newsworthy”.
Journalists use these materials to learn about you but a press kit can also be used for many other marketing purposes. When putting a press kit together, it should include a folder with an insert for your business card, client list, testimonials, biographical sketch, prior press releases, professional photo, articles and white papers written by you and may also include case histories, and one page fact sheets. Anything that increases or enhances your credibility should be included in the kit.
So forget about the standard brochure everyone else uses. Press kits are a much more effective marketing tool.
