So what do people think?
"I saw a request for a journalist to write an article displayed on Press4travel.com and responded and managed to fit the criteria. It was a nice bonus for me, not to have to make an appointment to sell ideas and then wait ages while decisions are made and budgets taken into account. It’s great to be able to fit a remit within a matter of a couple of hours. Hopefully more people will advertise their needs on this very useful website."
Louise Rodden, Award winning Freelance Travel Journalist
"Press4travel.com is a great tool. Working in PR I found it particularly helpful for contacting new journalists to invite on a press trip. Having journalists' interests, as well as publications, listed means you only contact relevant people and therefore save a great deal of time. Being able to post press releases on the site means your information is picked up by all the right people. I really like the search aspect; it is easy to use and very accurate."
Rakhee Shah, Blue Ice Communications
"Jersey War Tunnels used Press4Travel to attract journalists to the inauguration our new sculpture ‘Silence’, a memorial to the men of many nations who suffered in the construction of the tunnels of Ho8 during the German Occupation of Jersey. Advertising on Press4Travel attracted a number of journalists with commissions including the Sunday Mirror, Guardian Unlimited, Candis and Holiday & Leisure World. Press4Travel is a great medium for linking tourism businesses with international journalists."
Paul Simmonds, Chief Executive, Jersey War Tunnels
"I posted a last minute press offer under the ‘any takers’ section on Press4travel, and was delighted by the quick response I received. A variety of journalists contacted us, including nationals, regionals and freelancers, filling the trip up in no time. We have got the prospect of some great coverage to come. Thanks Press4travel.” "
Rod Macrae, Eurolines
"I registered with Press4travel a few weeks ago. In that short time, I've run press releases from Lincoln and Leicester in the European Travel News section of Europeforvisitors.com. I've also placed several other stories in the queues for our travel and cruise news sections."
"Unlike some of the other PR news distributors that I've dealt with, Press4travel doesn't stuff my e-mail inbox with press releases - it just alerts me to stories that may be of interest, then makes it easy to obtain the press releases and contact the PR staff. Press4travel is a class act, and it's now my preferred source of travel news about Britain."
Durant Imboden, Europe for Visitors
"As a Features Editor I find Press4travel invaluable as a source of up to the minute travel information, offers and events. Thanks to its 'Any Takers' section I have been on three FAM trips already this year and expect to go on more - it's a great service for any travel journalist."
Claire Borley, Features Editor, Basildon Evening Echo
"Press4travel is the most organised and effective service of its kind. The journalist newsletters are fantastic. All journalists are inundated with emails on a daily basis, however, I know the emails from Press4travel are relevant and I use the press releases in my publication. The 'Help Needed' section is a great idea for journalists who are looking for information in relation to their feature ideas. Well done Press4travel!"
Geoff Hill, Features Editor, News Letter
"I got a good contact from the PR people who manage the SATA airlines, as a result of which I got all my flights for free, virtually unheard of these days."
"Also from my 'help needed' request I received information and documents from another PR who had been to the Azores, and sent me useful information."
Terry Marsh, Freelance travel writer and photographer
"This is a brilliant service, well done. "
Ann Mooney, Irish Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday
"Press4travel is an extremely useful PR tool not just for contacting journalists but as a means of getting your press releases out there in one hit. As the site continues to grow I notice more and more of my releases are being picked up by the right people. An added bonus is the personal service that comes with Press4travel. Proactive calls from the team on a regular basis are a great way of being updated on all the latest developments and show that they're interested in your feedback."
Andrew Farr, PR & Marketing Executive, Classic Collection Holidays
"I am very impressed with the response from Press4travel. I had a very good response for a this trip to Bulgaria - we have 17 journalists here on two trips – and for the polo press trip later in the year."
Kat Tiefenthal, The Riding Company
"As a small company in rural France we were initially sceptical about joining Press4travel as I thought that no-one would be interested in the ‘small guy’. However, I am very glad we did go ahead as this had led to significant media interest such as articles in glossy magazines and the ‘Sundays’. Consequently, we have had a healthy increase in enquiries for our courses."
