24-7 Press Release Reviews

I've used several news services and find 24-7 to be among the most user-friendly. The add-on features are easy to navigate and the social share options are great considering today's environment.

I'd like to see more industry options offered for targeting. Some industries have lots and lots of options, whereas others are quite light.

24-7 is easy to use, flexible, provides good coverage and almost immediate feedback on release metrics. I've found it is an affordable way to keep our name in the news for prospects, current customers, and the general public. Press releases are a vital tool in my public relations toolbox and 24-7 gives me flexibility, affordability, and good return on my investment.

I sometimes wish that the releases were distributed in larger metropolitan areas. I seem to get a lot of placement in vertical journals or smaller markets.

I like the interface and the user-friendly text boxes. The price-point is also a plus. In addition, the category boxes are helpful and provide peace-of-mind.

Over time, I have seen a decline in the attention my press releases receive, especially compared to other press release distribution sites. Also, I do not always want to have a quote call-out, but the software requires the user to enter one. In addition, I feel that 24/7 is not as credible as it used to be with the media.

Pros------super easy format-----------very easy to plug in the press release--pick your categories and you are off to the races.. The release submission is also forgiving......so if you notice a edit after the initial submission you can correct it.

I have no complaints-----------It is super easy to use. One suggestion is it or would it be possible to have a state specific distribution option? This might help some of us distribute press releases on a state specific basis where it has market relevance.

Composing a press release is simple and quick. The interface is very robust while being intuitive. It's also really nice that there are different options and tiers for pricing and that the format is very simple to understand and select.

Nothing. The service is great! I love this site very much and use it for PR. I am often surprised by how many sites pick up my releases.

This software is fairly simple. 24/7 Press Release is an awesome way to send out a press release without the costly fees from larger distributions. We use this for SEO and link-building, and it's a great tactic. They send out coupon codes for your next press release which is helpful if you submit many per year. The reporting is also done very well. They send out your statistics, plus it's easily viewable in the database.

When you're adding links in the press release, it can get confusing. You have to add in the html code, which is fine, but sometimes it's hard to tell if the links are inputed correctly. If I could change one aspect, I would make the process of inserting links easier.

Cost/value. There are different tiers of usage and I have used several of them to meet my needs; I appreciate the cost and value

can't think of anything at this time; in the past the limit to the size of the photos was a problem but I think they increased that; sometimes it takes a while for the photos to load

I like the Simple and Quick Interface with user-friendly text boxes and cost-effectiveness to promote Press Communication. I can share my distribution with a broader audience without costing fees which are most beneficial for us.

Nothing, It provides us quality support with excellent service

It is easy to save basic profiles and reuse them later. Creating new releases is straightforward and easy to do. The value for the money, especially when compared to other services, is extraordinatory. No contracts, no minimums. Love it.

It would be nice if you could upload a Word document directly into the software. Saving complete profiles, which include the categories to include, would be equally nice. Adding links is cumbersome and has to be done manually.

Ease of use, speed of distribution, and the statistics. When we distribute a press release and can see the performance metrics, it always adds to the value.

Really wish Carlsbad, New Mexico was among the choices for region. Also, it would be nice to have more channels, or audiences, to guide the news towards.

The prices are much more fair than any of the other services. I like the fact that the releases remain on the server afterwards.

I can't really think of anything negative. It is always necessary to balance the costs versus the returns.

The ability to easily select specific industries, and the ease of use in scheduling the releases. The user interface is easy to navigate.

That you have to file the release for distribution -- it can't go immediately. It would be nice to send the release out right away.

There a many pros to this software. The first is that it extremely easy to use, the layout is self explanatory. Second the customer service is fantastic, I have only ever had two issues (forgotten password and payment not going through)... and both were fixed immediately after reported. Lastly the press release is sent out to so many publications and has the ability to get a large number of total views

The thing I like least about this software is the category list, I feel like it could be organized a little easier... the drop down list makes it very hard to choose from.

Ease of setting up release, selecting industries, adding images. Love the way you can set up a pull quote. I really like that.

There are no negative aspects of 24/7 that I can think of as far as usage or implementation. No problems at all.

Ease and speed of use, the ability to save information and load it later is a time saver. Especially with contact information

Nothing really it is straightforward to operate. I would like to see a white label version where i can operate as a facilitator under my own company branding but use the interface for clients or own use

Easy to create a PR, very good reporting regarding media pick-up, very good value, excellent customer support.

When you make a change to the content it resets the PR release date, if you forget to re-set it your PR can go out on the wrong (sooner) date than you intended.

Loading a press release is very quick and looks good. It's a cost efficient method of getting a press release out

We have never received a follow up on any release we've done and we've used the product for many years. Not sure if that means editors are actually seeing what we are putting out there.

it's intuitive, it's easy to use. The other thing I like about this website is they provide an option to publish on PR Newswire.

Fewer details of outside US media. Most of my press releases are outside the US, so I have only one option to select OUTSIDE US, I think this is what you have to improve.

It's easy to use and if there is a problem the customer support has always exceeded my expectations!

I have nothing negative to say. Any issues I have had are always rectified immediately. I do wish there were a few more categories.

24/7 is a great alternative to other newswires when sending out a press release, as it allows you to choose relevant channels, upload images, and distribute to a specific region or interest, all for a cheap cost.

The only downside to 24/7 is that it doesn't let you pick the time of day to post. Sometimes, a client will want to distribute something the next morning, but if the timing is outside the window of when it can be posted next day, we have to shift the date of distribution.

My favorite thing about this platform is the customer service. In their contract they state they have a 24 hour turnaround, however if you reach out the staff will turnaround a release immediately. They are also open to making last minute adjustments and are overall extremely accommodating for such a low cost.

They don't post to PR Newswire and I wish there was better reporting.

How it breaks down each part into specific categories. It is also easy save drafts and return at a later time to edit.

The new stripe app to pay, we had trouble with it on our last release. I also don't like how I have to wait till the end to add photos, I would like the option to look at how the release will look before purchasing

Simple to use and good customer support. Like the reports to analyze the results. That's all I have to say.

It does not reach so many relevant people. Maybe it could be more targeted. That's all I have to say.
