Today I witnessed a social media triumph for the building product industry.
I received an email press release from ACPA that contained blog and Twitter copy (aka a "tweet") after the main body of the press release.
The purpose of sending a press release is to create a viral re-posting of a news item among press outlets. By already customizing blog and Twitter copy, the company simplifies the re-posting process for press (and other online media sources).
Blogs and Twitter have become acclaimed news sources for the building product industry and we are excited to see this proof. Chusid Associates encourages you to include blog and Twitter copy in all of your future press releases.
The ACPA's sample blog and Twitter copy are below:
