HOW DOES IT WORK?    

“Beat Wire isn't just a great resource for CD release announcements. When we hosted a 'Lifetime Achievement Concert' for Jack Segal (When Sunny Gets Blue, Scarlet Ribbons, etc.), our RSVPs visibly increased in the very difficult-to-get industry responses. We're getting ready for a new campaign for Katie Dee, a nine-year-old wonder, and Beat Wire is at the top of our 'must send first' list.”
- Janet Fisher, Goodnight Kiss Music

“We used Beat Wire when a recording I created with a Tibetan Monk was nominated for a Grammy. Just through one press release via Beat Wire, an amazing amount of publicity was created, including 2/3rd of a page in USA TODAY on the day of the Grammys! Truly outrageous.”

The press release was very very succesful.It was the best investment I have made considering I made back the money spent. almost imediately. Thanks Beat Wire you guys ROCK!!”

“Beat Wire is peerless when it comes to sending out music-related news. I have sent out several releases with Beat Wire and the response is always immediate and often substantial. Beat Wire is a no-brainer for independent artists. It's a killer service.”
- The Sandman, (Mountain Mirrors)

“As a busy independent record label releasing dozens of CDs annually we don't need the additional headache of maintaining current information on 10,000 media personnel around the world. The releases I have sent out through Beat Wire have appeared on sites around the world in minutes. Google loves me; I love Beat Wire.”

Getting your press release on the desktops of thousands of music editors is a snap with Beat Wire.

Unlike most press release distribution services, we don't limit your words. In other words, your press release can be as long as you want. However, we recommend you keep it as short as possible since music reporters rarely have the time to read more than a page.

For better results and higher response rate, you can have us write a professional press release for you. Click here for more information.

You can submit your press release by either uploading your text file, copying and pasting it in the appropriate box, or e-mailing it us at releases@beatwire.com.

We e-mail press releases on workdays at 9AM Eastern Time and only one release a day.

That's right. In order to get your press release major notice, we do not send any other press releases on that same day. So if your press release is time sensitive, be sure to book your distribution well ahead of time.

The total security of our ordering system guarantees your details are kept absolutely safe and confidential. So just fill in the few details required and follow the simple instructions. Note: We use 2Checkout.com as our credit card billing service.

Within 12 hours, our representative will contact you to verify your press release details. That's it. You're all set, and your press release will hit the mailboxes of thousands and thousands of highly targeted music journalists and radio personalities.

Please note that we cannot guarantee that the music editors and reporters will contact you or publish your press release. The effect of your press release depends largely on its contents and whether the editors believe your news to be of interest to their readers and listeners.

Judging from feedback we get from satisfied independent musicians and record labels every day, the odds of being featured in a daily newspaper or radio show are on the positive side. And what we can guarantee is that your press release will be distributed directly to every person in our distribution list.

Another very important success factor is whether your press release is professionally written. A well-crafted press release is more likely to generate publicity. That is why we strongly recommend hiring a professional publicist.
