Press kits are very important when you want to make the right impression with the media when launching a product or making any important announcements to the press.

A good press kit contains several things:  a photograph or any graphics that can be used to accompany your press release or media statement, a very short statement regarding the company, a list of upcoming events of the company, and the most important part- the press release.   You can also include previous press releases if you think they could provide value to the readers of the publication you are sending the press kit to.

It is very important to create press kits that will catch the attention of editors, publishers, reporters and other news producers.  Your press kit should be able to convey your image and you message clearly.  Your press kit should convey professionalism and integrity.  Your press kit should look like time was really spent on it and it wasn’t done haphazardly.  If you can throw in a bit of creativity to the kit and make it really interesting then that’s even better.

If you don’t have the time to create compelling press kits then you should definitely considering hiring a virtual assistant who can put together a good press release for you.  The virtual assistant can easily put together a good press kit material for you based on the information you have on your website.  The virtual assistant will know what parts of the website should be highlighted in the company profile.

The VA can also create original text and graphics for your press kit.  Graphics and visuals are very important for creating effective press kits.  Editors and news producers receive press kits all the time, you need to make sure that you press kit stands out.

The VA can also write good press releases with the right tone.  Professionally written press releases have better chances of getting noticed by news producers.

By creating all the needed materials, all you will need to do is take the material to the printers or print the kit yourself and then distribute to your media contacts. You can also give out the press kit during product launches and other important events in your company.
