Feature article distribution service

Year-long newspaper and news source coverage for one small investment …

Feature Service participants reserve space in two consecutive editions of the Home Improvement Time Editorial Material Website Guide (Spring-Summer and Fall-Winter). Website guides are mailed to more than 8,900 daily and weekly newspapers and news sources within the United States.

Feature Service participation includes:

  • Story and directory listing composition and proofing
  • Image optimization (images are optimized to S.W.O.P. specifications for newsprint reproduction, then resaved as medium and low resolution online previews)
  • Print production, postage and mailing costs
  • File conversion to PDF (composed stories), ASCII and RTF (story text), JPG or EPS (images) and HTML (online) formats.
  • Posting to the H.I.T. Story Library for one full year.
  • Inclusion in e-mail and RSS update notifications sent to editors (H.I.T. currently has 6,200+ editor e-mail addresses on file).
  • Posting to the consumer Home Improvement News and Information Network article library for one full year.
  • One FREE listing in H.I.T.’s consumer sourcing directory, and one FREE display banner ad adjacent to each article.
  • FREE News Release Distribution Services (frequency varies based on feature space commitment).

Closing date for the Spring-Summer Feature Service distribution cycle is November 21, 2008. Contact Carole Stewart by phone (412-787-2881) or e-mail (carole.stewart@homeimprovementtime.com) for current rates and space reservation forms.
