Hi Katherine,

Thanks for sharing your release with us. This copy really focuses on the features you are offering. Is there any way you can write more about the benefits? What`s in it for the reader?

Perhaps you can talk about why each ingredient is unique and what the reader will get from the unique benefits of these ingredients?

You mention "Natural, organic substances can give the same effective beauty care as other chemical beauty products without the health risks or side effects." What is this beauty care you are talking about?

Also, where is your press-release headline?

Just a few, quick thoughts,

Melanie

Katherine,

I recommend looking at the story from the perspective of latest trends.  There`s been a huge push towards organic and all-natural products in the last few years and it`s particularly heavy right now.  You should capitalize on it by adding some research, which I`m sure you can find online. If you want a news story you need to show media why your company is news worthy.

I agree with Melanie.  There are three major elements of the release you`re missing:

1. Headline - should capture their attention

2. Lead paragraph - give a hint to the news and then one sentence about your launch.  Following paragraphs can go into more depth why it`s news worthy (research) and then about the company and product lines.  The entire paragraph shouldn`t be more than four short sentences.

3. A Boilerplate - one brief paragraph about your business

Right now it reads a little bit like ad copy which means journalists will prbably ditch it right away.  You`ve got some great things to capitalize on and it`s a very relevant story. 

My final recommendation is to write it as if you`re the journalist.  Think from their point of view.  Read the paper to get a feel.  They will be judging the release and information to see if it`s relevant to their readers.  A press release is like a story tip that doesn`t give away the entire story but is just enough to give them an idea.

Feel free to share this with us again.

Jennifer

Katherine,
You want never to come across as an advertisement. I worked the following up for you. If you like it, you are welcome to use it. Please check through to make sure it is correct. I just took what you had and made it more "newsworthy" and less like an advertisement.

Clinic, they cause irritation to the respiratory system and trigger a host of
other problems.
