At PR Newswire we understand the challenges small business owners face. You're wearing multiple hats throughout the day and after you're done wearing the president, bookkeeper and webmaster hats it can be difficult to find the time to promote your company. The reality is, finding the time to issue a simple news release can help your company grow faster.

News releases? You mean those exclusive notices that major corporations send out to newspapers, radio and television in hopes of getting their name in print? Sure, you may be thinking, that's fine for Microsoft and General Motors but who's interested in me and my company? The answer: thousands of media, investors and potential customers.

PR Newswire sends thousands of news releases out of a year-many for small businesses just like yours. These companies benefit because their releases get read by media across the country and, very often, result in a written article. Additionally, if you're interested in a Web audience you can distribute your news releases to more than 4,000 Web sites, databases and online services like Yahoo!, MSN.com, and AOL.com-- giving your release a potential audience of millions.
