			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The information shared here through BusinessWire is straightforward and simple.</p>
<p>Crafting the message and content is obviously the most important factor in developing an excellent public relations and press release campaign.</p>
<p>When developing a press release, I try to incorporate at least Five out of Seven of  the traits that are outlined in the article. One that I leave out is based on budget; the other the goal of the release. Here are the 5:</p>
<p>1. <a title="Jamesgang creative communications contact us page" href="http://jamesgangcreative.com/contact/" target="_blank">One link</a> in one form or another in the body of the release.</p>
<p>2. Emphasis on key points in the release via special formatting.</p>
<p>3. A subheadline.</p>
<p>4. Encourage sharing on social media</p>
<p>5. Special characters in the headline.</p>
<p>The two that are missing are:<br />
1. The company name in the headline: It sort of depends on where the brand fits in the scheme of things.  After establishing the company branding, sometimes it&#8217;s better to focus totally on the message and support the company branding throughout the release.</p>
<p>2. A photo or video included: There are totally dependent upon the client&#8217;s budget as they almost always add some cost in distribution. However, these costs also vary widely, and there are many ways to get the message distributed within budgetary concerns.<br />
If you need effective messaging, please give me a call.</p>
