Budget

  • We have priced the press release sent to an journalist by way of credits.
    As such, we offer you a more efficient use supported by differentiated campaign lists and avoid “send all” actions

  • You always control the number of journalists that are included in the press list and therewith control you the costs of distributing your press release.
    We think that a better segmented distribution list is in the interest of all parties anyway
