PRWeb Launches Feature Video to Provide Complete Multimedia News Releases and Deliver Video Content for Customers
PRWeb users now can include embedded videos in their news announcement to create a true multimedia news experience and increase their online visibility. With the launch of Feature Video, PRWeb allows customers to increase the visibility of their video content on popular video-sharing sites and provide a more vivid experience for readers of their news releases.
Ferndale, WA (PRWEB) June 11, 2007 -- PRWeb®, a leading online press release distribution newswire and a Vocus (NASDAQ: VOCS) company, today announced the launch of Feature Video, a new service that allows users to embed online video content into their search-engine optimized press releases. Just as PRWeb increases the online visibility of news releases by optimizing them for search engines and feeding the release directly to major online news outlets, Feature Video increases the visibility of customer's video content.
To take advantage of Feature Video, PRWeb users simply upload their video to popular video-sharing sites, including YouTube, Google Video and Yahoo! Video. Feature Video then enables videos to play directly within the customer's PRWeb release.
"As the explosive growth of video sharing sites demonstrates, organizations of all sizes are using video content as a way to tell their story," said Bill Wagner, Chief Marketing Officer of Vocus, Inc. "Feature Video allows PRWeb customers to embed videos directly in their news release, providing a true multimedia experience for their news and increasing the video's visibility on the web."
Notable customers including PETCO, Discovery Communications, Ragan Communications and Southwest Airlines have already begun taking advantage of the new advanced feature to promote their products and services. To view each company's individual news release, please visit:
"Using video allowed us to provide our customers with a level of experience beyond what has been possible in the past," said Rachel McLennan, Communications Writer, PETCO Animal Supplies, Inc "Instead of simply telling them what has been happening, we were able to actually show them and the response has been overwhelmingly positive."
The service is included in PRWeb's Media Visibility package and is available immediately.
