Online PR Distribution Tools Review

A few of JDM PR's favorites are listed below along with price ranges, pros & cons, and our recommendations.

There are hundreds of press release distribution services available online.  The following are in order of JDM Digital’s most recommended to least, but please make your own determination.  Every online press release campaign is different.

PRweb (prweb.com

PRweb is our most commonly recommended PR distribution services.  They have a four tiered pricing model with available release upgrades all along the way.

PRweb PROS:

PRweb CONS:

TransWorldNews (transworldnews.com)

PRweb is great, but for those everyday releases (like hiring or new client announcements) JDM usually recommends a lower cost distribution tool like TransWorldNews.  With any distribution service, you get what you pay for, but for $50 or so, TransWorldNews is a good buy.

TransWorldNews PROS:

TransWorldNews CONS:

UPDATE:

We’re not so sure about TransWorldNews any more.

Direct2Net (from HRmarketer)

Direct2Net is an online PR service from HRmarketer.  As part of a suite of services included in their flagship product, Direct2Net is less about DIY online PR and more like having a virtual online PR department.  If you’re marketing to the HR space, JDM highly recommends contacting HRmarketer.

Direct2Net PROS:

Direct2Net CONS:

PR Newswire (prnewswire.com)

Since 1954, PR Newswire has been the global leader in pioneering this stuff–and in pricing.  They are the original and still the best, but do they really live up to their pricing or is it all just cache’?  You decide.
