Are my credit card details safe?
All transactions are handled through Secure Trading provide a Level 1 PCI DSS compliant payment gateway. We store no credit card information.
What is a media outlet?
Media outlet to describes any trade or consumer magazine, newspaper, TV or radio station/programme, web site, blog, newsletter, technical journal and so on that accepts press releases and company news for editing and use.
What kind of press releases get published?
Think news interest. Editors and journalists respond positively to press release news that will appeal to their readers – things that are new and innovative, relate to current issues and will have some impact.
How do I know if my news is interesting enough?
Look at the type of media outlets you want to target and see what stories they carry. Think about the issues behind what you want to say. If you wish to promote a product for example think of the experiences this delivers, the problems it solves, the tangible and intangible benefits.
Why can’t I use capital letters to emphasise my product name?
Presenting news to editors follows simple rules that they expect. Using all capital letters, bold, underlines, italics and so on for names is not appropriate. Initial capital letters are not used on titles such as managing director. Dots (.) are not used in abbreviations, M.P. becomes MP. There are many conventions we need to follow in our written work, please remember when proofing your news release that we may have altered your text to present it to editors in the style they want. This increases the chance of your news being used.
I want to issue press releases in other countries can you do it?
Yes. Due to translation costs and the possibility that there may be few publications in some countries we would need to do an initial assessment and provide you with a quotation. Please use the ‘Tailored Service’ option in your account and tell us the countries that interest you and we will provide a quotation.
Can you guarantee that my press release will be used?
No. Use of press releases is always at the editor’s discretion. Good news values and high quality pictures improve the chances of success. We can guarantee that your press release will appear online in multiple news distribution sites.
How do I know if my news release has been published?
The best way – in print or online – is to use an independent professional monitoring service. The cost will depend on the your search criteria. If you want advice on offline reading services please call us on +44 (0)161 408 0152.
Are there any limitations on what I can publish?
Yes. We will not accept material that is clearly defamatory, dishonest, indecent or illegal. A full and immediate refund will be given where projects are rejected.
What about copyright?
Editors will not publish press releases or pictures unless they are free of copyright. For this reason, you must either own any material you send to us, or have the owners consent for its use. By sending pictures and materials to us, you accept that you have full consent to use them for purposes of public relations and liability for this rests with you.
Why don’t you e-mail images to editors with the text?
Editors need high-resolution pictures. They do not appreciate their inboxes being filled by large files. We send news releases to editors as plain text in the e-mail message body. If you have uploaded a picture, a reference link to the picture will be given in the e-mail to the editor. They can then download your image. This also helps avoid spam filters.
Are there any other PR services you can offer?
Yes. We are happy to research and write copy for newsletters, brochures and for other forms of promotion. Please complete the online PR enquiry form outlining your requirements or e-mail a brief to us at
moreinfo@CLICKintoPR.com and we will e-mail a quote to you.
What is your refund policy?
