Newswire is a progressive step in the right direction

Pros:

I am able to access it whenever I want. I can manipulate it without going through a "representative". It's hands-on and self-explanatory.

Cons:

There are some features I wish were more user-friendly, such as returning to the previous page w/o having to go back through the browser.

Reasons for choosing Newswire

Better control of marketing materials, better monitoring systems in place, better customer service and communication, more media outlets offered and the price point was right for a small start-up company.

Reasons for switching to Newswire

Business Wire was too regimental, expensive and had little options for the price point.

Pros:

My favorite thing about Newswire is its ease-of-use and value for the price. The PR world is fast-paced and stressful enough as it is, you don't want to add to that stress by having a clunky release service in which you might accidentally make a mistake. Newswire has helped me out time and time again by ensuring that all of my questions are answered, and delivers tremendous value in terms of SEO and functionality. It's a distribution service for those who take media relations and marketing seriously.

Cons:

I don't have any cons to list. The tool works great and the customer service team in particular is incredibly helpful and has helped me multiple times.

Reasons for switching to Newswire

While Cision's price was cheap it didn't offer strong SEO, analytics, or other features. It's good if you need a basic release, but they didn't actually accomplish their goal of being visible to key digital audiences.

Save your money and run a targeted ad.

Realized absolutely NO benefits from using a press release service. Incredibly disappointing.

Pros:

I have nothing against Newswire. They delivered as promised. They posted where they said they would, their website was easy to navigate, and the overall experience was smooth and professional. But for the cost, I expected *some* results. The only responses I received to our press release were from other people trying to sell me on their press release service, or websites offering to get my company exposure on their blog for a substantial fee. Overall, using this service was a complete waste of time for our product. I wish I'd run targeted ads to potential customers with the money instead. Lesson learned. I will never use a press release service again.

Cons:

See above. No need to type it all again.

Vendor Response

Hi Stephanie, Thank you for your feedback. It's unfortunate to hear that your press release campaign did not yield the results you had expected. I do see there was a good amount of views and some social media shares to your PR however ultimately I do understand if you were measuring ROI thru another metric. If ever you'd like to considering trying our service out again, I'd like to discuss with you, your expectations of the campaign so we can strategize on the best options for your campaign next time. If you have any other questions or would like to try us out again, please do not hesitate to contact me, patrick@newswire.com. Thank you!

I loved the database and search features. We could tailor lists to pres release subject matter. It was also easy to use with great customer service. Organizing multiple campaigns and lists was very easy as well.

Easy, Affordable Wire Service

We are using Newswire for basic news distribution services for our clients. The benefits of using them vs. PR Newswire or Business Wire is the cost-effectiveness to wire the releases.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The Newswire support team is top notch. They are highly responsive, easy to reach, and always very helpful. What's great is that even if you are using their lower end release option, you can still schedule your releases to go out quickly. Other services we've used don't offer that flexibility. Their prices options are great; they offer some of the most affordable distribution options we've seen.

Cons:

Their basic wire option is pretty limited as far as the contact list it's distributed to - it would be nice if they included the Business Journals on that list. We'd be far happier overall if that was the case.

As a company, we appreciate the fact of reaching sites and locations with news from Panama Real Estate that, alone couldn't make it. Targeting our message to a specific audience, and spreading it out to North America (which is our main desire market) is invaluable and worth the investment.
