How to write a product launch press release

Sell the change, not the feature list

Editors cover what a product changes for people. Describe the before and after for the user, and keep the full feature list on your product page.

Give availability its own paragraph

Readers want to know where, when and how much. A clear availability line also makes it easy for a writer to add your link.

Time it with the launch, not before

Release the news when the product is live or opens for signups, so anyone who reads it can act on it straight away.

Add visuals

A product screenshot or short demo link gives an editor something to run with the story. Host them where they can be downloaded.

Product launch template FAQ

More press release templates

Each one is written for its kind of news, with its own headline formulas and tips.

All templates in one PDF

Funding Announcement

For announcing a seed, Series A or later round. Business editors look for the amount, the investors and what the money is for, so the template leads with all three.

Open PDF

New Hire

For executive appointments, board seats and key hires. A hire is news when it says something about where the company is going, so the template connects the person to the plan.

Open PDF

Partnership

For integrations, co-marketing, distribution and strategic alliances. Two company names are not news, so the template leads with what the partnership lets customers do.

Open PDF

Event

For conferences, webinars, launch events and community gatherings. Event editors and listings need the what, when, where and how to attend in the first two paragraphs.

Open PDF

Award

For awards, rankings, certifications and other recognition. The win is the hook, but the story is what you did to earn it, so the template gives that its own paragraph.

Open PDF

Business Expansion

For new offices, new markets, new locations and growth milestones. Local and trade editors want to know what changes on the ground, such as jobs, customers or services.

Open PDF

Crypto and Web3

For protocol launches, mainnets, integrations, token news and listings. Crypto editors are wary of hype, so the template is built around verifiable facts and what users can do.
