Melanie-
ReplyDeleteGreat overall, but I have a couple ideas that you could apply...but it's good without them.
In the intro, I would use a different phrase besides "defining new horizons," I didn't know exactly where you were going with that.
In graf 2, I would add the year for your first mention of the dates of the conference. (June 25-27, 2009) Then don't mention the year again, it will be inferred.
Do you have any quotes? The statement about "Conference attendees will not want to miss these presentations" would make a great quote from a proffessional from Marriot, otherwise it's just "fluff" and unnecessary.
Question for you though, why didn't you use your contact information at the bottom? Because nobody can tell you did the press release? I guess I should talk to Preston about that.
Great Press release, though! Very informative, but you def need quotes to add a little spicage. :)
I am agrre with Courtney. Your press release is really good so far and it could be even better if you add some quotes.
ReplyDeleteI agree add some quotes, also change the way you address the conference dates. Also the beginning line children's could be changed cuz it seems like an odd tense. Maybe change the lives of children, or a child's life.
ReplyDeletehey melanie!
ReplyDeleteIt looks really good so far, one thing I would suggest is to maybe be more defined in your lead. I am not sure what "defining new horizons" means :) And some quotes would be good too. I like your boiler plate as well. :) good job!
Good job Melanie. It looks like a good story could come from that. My suggestion would be to shorter up the first paragraph, pack in the best line or two that you want to start with. Then maybe condense the boiler plate at the end. The overall story seemed to be a good length.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Melanie. If you get some quotes in there from people in the organization it would really make it solid. Is the a president or someone in charge that you can put in the top contact info?
