PressCable releases a guide for small businesses on crafting new store-opening press releases. The resource outlines 12 essential elements and strategic timing recommendations to maximize media coverage without professional PR support.

-- The newest guide from PressCable is part of an ongoing educational series intended to teach PR best practices to small businesses and industry newcomers. PressCable seeks to underscore the vital importance of media outreach in the small business space, particularly in an increasingly digital marketplace in which brick-and-mortar stores may be at a disadvantage.

According to PressCable's strategic recommendations, businesses should distribute press release announcements two to three weeks before the grand opening event rather than following traditional shorter timelines. This extended window allows desk editors sufficient time for planning and assigning reporters, which increases the likelihood of media pickup. The timing strategy is backed by a substantial data set, which shows that proper timing vastly increases the chances of journalists engaging with the material.
The newly published guide identifies 12 core elements essential for successful grand opening announcements: headlines, event details, product offerings, special offers, opening hours, location, opening date, images, quotes, website URL, boilerplate, and contact information. By including these elements, small businesses can present local journalists with all of the information required to write a feature without the need for follow-up interviews or additional correspondence.
PressCable's resource particularly emphasizes headline optimization as a critical component of effective announcements, recommending concise copy that incorporates relevant keywords to enhance search engine rankings and website traffic. This approach addresses the dual needs of small business owners by improving both journalist pickup and organic visibility through search discovery. Headlines crafted according to these specifications bridge traditional media coverage with digital audience engagement, extending the announcement's impact beyond initial publication.
Readers will also find customizable templates and real-world examples within the guide to assist small business owners in writing effective announcements without hiring external PR professionals. The templates address fundamental press release structure, including the who, what, when, where, and why questions, while helping users identify newsworthy angles that resonate with local and industry media outlets.
PressCable's website also hosts a wide range of other guidance related to professional media outreach; free guides, templates, and platform recommendations are all available now.
