"Good Wire, Not Great for Pickup"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Business Wire?

I liked how easy the Business Wire platform was on the backend to put out a release. They made it simple and offered great customer service for when I had questions/concerns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Business Wire?

I didn't find the pickup to be that great. It was shown on the major wire publications pickup sites, but didn't get much beyond that which was surprising to me based on the content of the release. When meeting with Business Wire to discuss options, I felt like the package was very comprehensive; but after distributing a release, it only seemed to touch wires and not much beyond that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Business Wire:

When looking at press release distribution wires I find them to all have similar packages and pricing. It's important to review your business needs and evaluate from there which wire will best serve your company goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Business Wire solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solving the problem of how to amplify our message to the business-focused crowd.The benefits of having an easy to use platform with a great customer service team were helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Business Wire solving and how is that benefiting you?

Many of my clients (Stericycle being my largest) are interested in putting an important press release with a new product announcement or pertinent company information on the wire. Business Wire is a great way to spread that positive news and creates fantastic recap reports that I can send to my clients with all of the necessary information.
