Cindycooks said:Andrea or Gillian - can I ask what you dropped or are dropping off to the paper for your press release? This is a great idea. I am pretty tight with the girls in the marketing dept at my paper - I've done vendor fairs with them twice and am getting ready to drop off a HWC packet - but a press release type thing would be awesome!
Thanks!
pchefinski said:Hi I decided on donating all my commission (minus 5% for business costs) because I really feel that God has called me to do that and in turn will bless my giving in that area with bookings that will lead to pocketable commission. Everyone I have spoke with about possible fundraisers has been very glad to hear that I care about their needs enough to sacrifice my own commission, and I tell them that I feel the bookings that come from the fundraiser will create more business for me.. so they feel good in asking for bookings.. we both help each other.. I have confidence that it not just works out in the end, but gives overflowing blessings to both parties involved. Our budget is super tight as well, and we are in need of extra money to pay bills and eliminate a good bit of debt.. But I feel that when we have a need, we sow a seed. If we need money, then we give away some of what we have, and God does return -- poured into our lap, great, pressed down, and running over.

I don't want to start a debate, but I do want everyone to know that it is an option to work your butt off for the cause, and still keep your commission with your karma intact. I am keeping my commission no matter what people say, and it is a personal choice to work extra hard to make up for the potential income I would have donated.
ChefBridgetA said:I think that its great for those of you on this thread who have the financial stability to be able to donate your commissions but who are you to judge someone who puts the well being of her family at the top of her list while still making time to take part in such a great fundraiser. Its very dissapointing to see people assume they know better than someone else. I guess all I'm saying is you do whats right for you and try not to judge others.
The best way to find out who to send your HWC press release to is to research the media outlets and publications that cover your industry or target audience. You can also check the contact information on the websites of these outlets or reach out to their editorial teams to inquire about their submission guidelines.
Yes, it is recommended to personalize your HWC press release to each recipient as it shows that you have taken the time to research and target their specific publication or outlet. This can increase the chances of your press release being read and published.
There is no specific format or template for HWC press releases, but it is important to include all the necessary information such as the headline, date, contact information, and a clear and concise message about your news or announcement. You can also include multimedia elements such as images or videos to make your press release more engaging.
Yes, you can send your HWC press release to multiple recipients at once, but it is important to make sure that the recipients are relevant to your news or announcement. Sending your press release to irrelevant or uninterested contacts can decrease the chances of it being picked up by the media.
It is recommended to send your HWC press release at least 1-2 weeks before your desired publication date. This gives the media outlets enough time to review and potentially schedule your press release for publication. However, if you have breaking news or time-sensitive information, it is best to send your press release as soon as possible.
