Sampling of your product to the reporters who attend our media introduction salons. Requires 75 pieces of product, each piece must have a press release attached.

The lists are usually about 100-200 contacts.

Drafting of a press release that is engineered to be the most newsworthy aspect of your product / company and includes top searchable terms. Includes unlimited edits.
