Great responsive service from Chris. I wish the reporting was less complex and more digestible. Who am I really reaching with my press release?
Response from SEND2PRESSJul 11, 2025
Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback on your experience :) Please note, in your report dashboard the section "media targeting" which shows who we targeted with your release project, with a PDF/DOC you can view/download of all the AP newsrooms in the US your news was sent to (3500+ newsrooms, up to 65,000 contacts), email contacts in our dbase in the US and industries related to your book topic, and then the links to find your news with online syndication on websites all over the world. Feel free to poke me for more information. :) -- Chris S.

Send2Press is a cost-effective way to broaden reach and Chris is extremely responsive, answering all questions promptly. My only complaint is that documentation and reporting could be simplified to make it clearer and easier to use.
Response from SEND2PRESSJan 29, 2025
Thanks for your feedback! :). With our reporting, it's tricky to try to provide relevant info due to disparate sources with no easy way to "intake" some of that. Hence so many "custom search" options to help find clips in search, social, and some automated lists from couple of sources who give us the tools to do so. We do have a "content requirements" page that shows our minimum content format; we also have a walk-through of the report dashboard explaiining what each section does. Feel free to reach out directly for help on anything. -- Chris S.

I know my plan was the least expensive, but to be the first time using. I highly recomend you through in some free help. At lest at the very beginning. A free draft support would be very very helpful. Also an immediate phone number to call in would help.

Thank you for your feedback. A phone number is provided on every page of our site, on the project submit page, in every email and on order receipt. We did provide help in format and setup of your release, however our loss-leader super budget plan does not provide proof copies or other features since the focus is on affordable dissemination of your news and social sharing handwork, and free image setup. Obviously, when choosing the budget package, we have to limit the amount of time spent, and features included with our normal plan/packages are not included in order to offer a budget price. Thanks for your understanding. -- Chris S.

We expected that when we tried a press release that it would be a “shot in the dark.” We purchased an “Industry Pro” release with writing support. Send2press did a great job of helping us to build upon our draft to create what we believed to be a newsworthy and compelling press release at a relevant time, but two weeks later we don’t see any evidence that it’s made a difference for our small business. Our web traffic went up substantially in the lead-up to the press release, but as of now it’s tapering off and no one has reached out. Websites who picked up the AP feed are from all over, we found about 50 of them by Google searching our headline but none were local to DC or Virginia, the area we’re trying to reach. Of note, the AP shows a large banner across the top to clarify that it’s a paid press release; perhaps paid press releases are viewed as less credible? Squarespace shows location and page visits as part of their analytics, so we were able to match several visitors to our website to places like Mississippi, Kentucky and Montana where the release was picked up. We’re unsure of the email campaign, the reporting lists hundreds of organizations in our region where it was sent but for obvious reasons we don’t get the email addresses. We sent the release to “news tips” for all the TV stations in DC and VA, it looks like one in Richmond visited our site shortly afterwards but didn’t reach out. The results we’re seeing are like the results we get when we post a TikTok video … views from all over, but no evidence of anyone following up. We don’t fault Send2press for our lack of results. We’ve used several industry specific listing sites, newspaper and radio ads and much more over the years; in the end, we find our most effective results to be from direct personal networking and our social media. We did find real value in our work with the professional writers, it’s helped us to refine our message and offered fresh wording we’re working to build into our online presence. Our quest for fame & fortune continues.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughful and honest review. Yes, a press release is always a bit of a 'crapshoot' since basically pandering/begging for free media coverage. Some of our clients over the past 40 years have gotten coverage, many don't. Nature of the effort, and hence why PR is really only part of outreach (as you mention) with direct marketing, advertising, and so forth. With the AP, paid placement is noted as such as they want to be transparent in noting clearly that press releases are not news content they create and syndicated to traditional media for a fee. Putting the news into 3500 AP newsrooms was the real value with up to 50,000 users who work in the news field at professional level. Our service tries to combine traditional email push, AP newsrooms, syndication, social, news platforms and data systems since media don't respond to news as they did 20 years back. Send2Press is a great partner in overall marketing/PR campaigns, but certainly not the only vehicle one should use to gain success. Thank you again for the feedback! :-) -- Chris S., chief widget washer at Send2Press (a service of Neotrope; doing PR since 1983!).

Chris was very informative and communicative, his responses were prompt and detailed. The process of signing up and receiving information back was quick and relatively simple. The only thing is that the website is a bit outdated, both in aesthetic and content. But Chris let me know very quickly that they are working hard to update the outdated lists currently on the website.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a positive review, and especially while we're in process this summer of some "tune ups" to some stale data for clients. Luckily our news platform is up to date, only portions of the service pages and supplemental info a bit rusty. Note the report dashboard also got an update this week :) Glad you were overall pleased with our efforts, and hope to work with you again! -- Chris S. and S2P team.

Very responsive and collaborative. I will certainly be a repeat customer.

I found Send2Press quick and easy to use. I liked everything about it…but, I wish they would have an easier way to follow up on placement for reporting purposes. I understand it’s a secondary charge, but for smaller clients it’s an additional expense.
Response from SEND2PRESSJan 30, 2023
Thanks for the feedback. Our 'budget' plans are offered at reduced cost to allow folks with limited budget to take advantage of all the great things we do, but much like LITE MAYO we have to remove some eggs to have a lower price. Because a staffer has to actually create custom searches, capture clips, and some other data in our normal report dashboard, the limited budget plans would cost more for that time and effort, hence the 'self serve' reporting. The $20 option to have us do the report is still very cost effective, if needed when choosing the budget plans. :-) Glad you were happy otherwise :-) -- Chris S.
