Re: press release timing

Hi,

Thanks for your great advice!
We will wait until the feature is added before issuing a press release.

We will also use PRWeb instead of PR Newswire as suggested. In the future
we'll manually find editors and just send to them manually.

Forgive my ignorance but PRweb seems to have so many release options
available that it just confuses the heck out of me...

For ~$30 we can send to 'one industry'. Who are the mags/newspapers/websites
within that industry seems to be nowhere to be found. I can see a few industries
that 'might' apply.

For $119 we can get Expanded PR Web & eMediawire Distribution. This seems
to mean I can send to 10 industries. Again, who are the mags/newspapers/
websites within those industries seems to be nowhere to be found.

For $369 we can get PR Web™ + PR Newswire™ Distribution. Again, who are
the mags/newspapers/websites within that industry seems to be nowhere to be
found. The difference between PRWeb and PRNewswire to me seems to be price.
Why use a combination of both of them if they both do the same thing? Won't
many editors get the same release twice?

So, I'm confused. Do I get the platinum package or the economy package?

Also, why would anyone pay PR Newswire a $125 membership plus $600+ for
issuing a release if the platinum package above does it for the ~half price. I
must be missing something...

Is it too obvious I'm newbie??? :-)

Thanks!!!!!!!
