Spruced Up Releases Spring Media To Action

About two years ago, I began adding custom graphic headers and including photos and logos in Satellite Media Advisories. Several producers offered unsolicited feedback about how the image/graphic grabbed their attention when they were booking the SMT.

A picture is worth a thousand words." So it made sense I should use images to support the words in news releases as well. Below is a recent news release as an example. With media kits, high-res photos are included on a disc or thumbdrive.

Put A Spring In Your “Door”Step with a Personalized Doormat

-A custom doormat is this year's fabulous front door accessory!

ORLANDO, Fla. (April 20, 2010) – A beautifully customized doormat from The Personalized Doormats Company is the perfect way to welcome warm weather while also putting a spring in your “door”step. Keeping more than 50 percent of the dirt outside, doormats are functional, but a personalized doormat is a customized design accessory that is sure to perk up any front door.

"When it comes to a house, what’s out front actually can say a lot about what is on the inside,” said Interior Designer and TV Host Josh Johnson. “For example, how your front door area appears when approaching up close is similar to a home's curb appeal at street level. Does it feel warm, inviting and welcoming? Or does it give off an impression that is drab, unappealing and even a bit shabby? An entryway, whether large or small, sets the tone for your home’s interior and also portrays the personality of the individual or family living there.

At first thought, a doormat might not seem that exciting. But these doormats will fashionably perk up any porch, patio and the grandest of porticos with panache while also fulfilling the ultimate function of keeping the floors clean. The Personalized Doormats Company offers doormats that are stylish, affordably priced and selections in a variety of materials, sizes and colors. By offering personalization, what was once a simple mat at a door, changes the whole meaning of ‘doormat’. Doormats are an integral part of a home’s décor and speak volumes about the owner or renter as well.

“An online company, they have something for every style and budget. Selections range from classic to chic and from simple to just plain stunning. Materials include eco-friendly recycled plastic to beautifully hand-woven coconut fiber and I really love the sparkle of the cast aluminum. A doormat is something every home needs and The Personalized Doormats Company has certainly stepped up the doormat to make it a fabulous front door accessory,” said Johnson.

In addition to a variety of materials, the mats come in sizes and shapes to fit single and double doorways, both narrow and wide. Doormats are made of different materials and depending on the location, some styles are better suited for covered entryways, others are excellent when exposed to harsh weather such water or direct sun and select doormats are very reliable under heavy or muddy foot traffic.
