Press kits: Beyond the basics
You have an attractive folder, a comprehensive and up-to-date company
backgrounder, a business card, and a press release specific to an
upcoming event or circumstance. What else can you do to augment that
press kit?
You have an attractive folder, a comprehensive and up-to-date company

press kit?
- Photos or slides: Are you announcing a product, a new location , a
major personnel change, or other event that would be enhanced
with pictures? If you want to include color pictures, use slides,
because they provide top quality and processing flexibility.
- Brochures and reprints: Use these when sending the kits to
members of the press who may be unfamiliar with your company.
- Competitive table: A general market overview should already be in
your company backgrounder. A competitive analysis highlights your
strengths when compared to your competitors.
- Press guide, or Q&A: This document anticipates the key question a
reporter might ask about your company or its announcement and
then answers them.
- References: When announcing a product or service, include
references to some of your most satisfied customers, one or more
industry analysts who will comment favorably on your company,
and perhaps even the names and key contacts of your major
competitors.
