PR Picture of the Day

2010 Chevrolet Camaro
The Harley Davidson Electra Glide Motorcycle looks pretty good with a Creve Coeur, Missouri, policeman in charge. The combination of law enforcement and Harley motorcycles makes for a compelling PR photograph (we get it, even without the caption).

PowerPoint presentations: quick step-by-step guide in PDF format


Corporate America depends almost entirely upon PowerPoint® presentations to conduct meetings, exchange information, communicate with the public, the media, and even the government. It is so widely used that its value is taken for granted, yet small and medium-sized companies would do well to take a second look at this work horse.

The PDF document you can download here should help you familiarize or re-familiarize yourself with this rich and powerful program.

Some of you may recall the original WebPR Press Release Primer, first posted in 1996 and the subject of considerable attention. We have updated the contents and we have reissued it. Now Free!

If you're into online meetings, but need all your communications encrypted, and maybe recorded, see what AdriaComm has to offer.

Trademark and logo design. A valuable resource from Cook Creative, not only for logos, but also for all creative services.

Open Discourse blog

This blog is attached to WebPR.com, but its scope is wider than marketing communications - it is communications. The idea is to explore the many facets of communications as they apply to business and to personal life. Whether we like it or not, we have stumbled into a connected world. We take our work home, and we use work computers for personal tasks. Remember when a telegram was the fastest way to communicate with anyone in the world? If you're young enough you probably don't - and you're probably not sure what the fax is all about. In any event, the world of communications is the topic for this Discourse.

Open Internet Forum

Here is a forum where you can express opinions, present facts, recommend solutions. The idea is to cover some of the topics and issues not discussed elsewhere. The forum targets marketing people in small and medium size companies. Topics range from starting a web site to various aspects of marketing communications, writing, presentations, and others. It also provides a repository for press releases.Check-out the Open Forum

Here are some of the telltale signs:

  1. The release goes on for page after page. 500 words or less should do the job.
  2. Adjectives are everywhere: beautiful, superior, incredible… press releases are about facts.
  3. Grammatically incorrect. Does a period come before or after the 'close quote' mark?
  4. Exclamations, bold type, different fonts…
  5. Missing or inadequate contact information.
  6. Lack of focus - what is new?
  7. Flagrant sales pitch, no news.

Check out our Press Release Primer. And if you still think that your press release needs editing or a reality check, click here for more information.
