1- PRESS RELEASE AND ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR BIDS, OFFERS AND SPECIAL EVENTS: The best and most effective way to obtaining publicity for a product, an event or a company is through Press or Announcement.

That is generally done by companies, governments, organizations and even individuals through the release of one to one-half page story about their business, product or service, forecasted, planned or terminated event. These press or news releases are generally issued to and published by all kinds of media: local and international newspapers, radio and TV, and trade publications.

The timing of a press release or announcement is crucial for the impact with the international community. If the release is linked to a nationwide or important event, the impact and consequent profit gains in publicity and "visibility" are more satisfactory.

A forth coming virus alert, for instance, is a good time for a backup or antiviral company to make a press release highlighting the performance background of said company. That release will doubtless attract the attention of many people and companies in the computer world who are willing to avoid a computer disaster.

However, press or news releases in "paper media" do have a very short life time; 24 hours to one week. Afterwards, they are washed out into the abyss of "dead news" by the overwhelming, relentless and continuous stream of news and events.

That is where we at Africabiz Online steps in to extending the "impact life"of your press or new release. . Africabiz Online rates are very competitive versus paper media's advertisement.
