Just a few editors and journalists saw the release
You had to have significant news for a PR
The only way your buyers would learn about the press release’s content was if the media wrote a story about it
The only way to measure the effectiveness of press releases was through “clip books,” which collected every time the media deigned to pick up your release
(David Meerman Scott, The New Rules of Marketing and PR, )

Create links in releases to deliver potential customers to landing pages on your website.
