Pre-Packaged: Press Kit

You have a great idea and you’re now ready for the world to know about it. With the increase in promotional alternatives, you may be a little confused as to how you should get the word out. CODANK Charlotte Web Design suggest that you invest in a well put together Press Kit.

A press kit, also known as a media kit, is a pre-packaged set of promotional materials of a person, business, product, or organization. It is normally distributed to numerous members of the media for promotional use only. A press or media kit is often used to announce a release or for a news conference of some sort.

Common Press Kit Elements
• Background Information
• Photos/Images (High Resolution)
• Biographies of key individuals
• Past Press Coverage
• Updated Press Release
• Contact Information
• Collateral advertising material (flyer, book, etc.)

Below is a list of other great reasons to use a media or press kit.
• Business launch
• Mergers and acquisitions
• News conferences
• Large events
• Industry trade shows
• Product launch

Press kits are very common in the music industry. Bands and musicians tend to use them when launching a new album. Their media kits usually include: band biography, discography, CD, contact information, and an equipment list.

Those who choose to create a press kit often vary in the way that they are actually put together. Some people prefer it to have a certain look while others would rather put it together in a different way.
