UK-specific Press Releases

Webthings · 01-28-2009, 07:23 AM

I have some niche products that are specific to the UK, and am just about to launch two more. I'd like to publicise this using press-releases amongst other means, but in terms of 'getting it seen' (by a human) feel there may be some benefit to using UK-specific sites.

Does anybody know of any UK-specific press release sites?

pressbox - free press release distribution and news - press store - copywriting services

UKPRwire | UK & Global News Distribution

I always tell my press release clients - online press release sites are good for traffic, backlinks, branding, etc. but to get picked up by regular media - and I used to be a reporter at daily newspapers - you really need to call the media outlet that you are interested in, find out who to send the press release to, send it to that person, make a follow up call if necessary...
