It’s the age old question. As long as companies and PR practitioners have been sending releases, everyone has wanted to know when is the best time to send my release?
Everyone still wants to know because there is really no true right answer. Until Google starts mining data directly from our minds predicting the future will continue to be a difficult endeavor. However, with the power of free tools and site search it’s become relatively easy to get a read on the present and measure short term opportunities.
Here’s my basic premise: using tools like Google Trends and site search on the major press release distribution sites like Business Wire to gauge the amount of competition, you can increase your chances of catching a wave and contributing to a hot story.
