Free: News Release Template for #HIMSS15 Vendors

I’ve been seeing and receiving a lot of news releases in the last couple weeks. They all seem to read the same and repeat the same fluffy phrases and boring exec-speak. With all due respect to marketing experts who must know way more than me, do people even read these things anymore? They seem so 80’s. (Frankly I wonder why some of these firms are sending them to me.)

So if you’re thinking of sending out a news release, I’ve put together a template to speed the creation of your news release. All you need to do is supply seven simple data points and you'll have what 98% of the universe of vendors usually provide in their press releases.
