Get featured on Last-Mile Delivery Media Outlets in 48 hours

Yes, and many do, especially at the very beginning. Doing your own PR involves building relationships with journalists who cover logistics and tech, following them on social media, and sending personalized pitches. This can be effective for landing a feature story, but it is extremely time-consuming and has a low success rate. If you need guaranteed placements for a specific announcement on a deadline, doing it yourself is risky. A distribution service removes that uncertainty. Many founders do a mix: they build key relationships themselves while using distribution for important milestone announcements.

The cost varies significantly based on the method. Doing it yourself is technically free, but the time investment is high and results are not guaranteed. Hiring a traditional PR agency is the most expensive option, typically involving a monthly retainer in the thousands, with no guarantee of placement. A press release distribution service is the middle ground, offering a one-time fee for guaranteed placements. This is often the most cost-effective option for startups needing to announce a funding round, partnership, or product launch. Our packages are designed for this purpose, and you can see current pricing on our packages page.

The process is fast. Once you submit your press release through our platform, it goes to our editorial team for a quick review to ensure it meets publisher guidelines. This usually happens within a few business hours. After approval, publication on our media network, including outlets like AP News and Benzinga, begins immediately and is typically complete within 24 to 48 hours. You will receive a full report with live links to all your placements within 3 business days.

Editors and newswires prioritize tangible, verifiable milestones. The announcements that perform best are those that signal significant business progress and have a clear impact on the market or a community. For a last-mile delivery company, this includes closing a funding round (Seed, Series A, etc.), launching service in a major new city, announcing a partnership with a large, recognizable brand, or releasing proprietary data on delivery efficiency or sustainability improvements. Announcements about new executive hires from major logistics companies also perform well.

The key is to be newsworthy, not promotional. Avoid marketing jargon, superlatives, and unsubstantiated claims like 'revolutionary' or 'game-changing'. Stick to the facts and present them in a standard, professional format that editors recognize. Your release must have a clear news hook in the headline and first paragraph. It should answer the questions: who, what, when, where, and why. Our AI-powered editor guides you through this structure, helping you write a release that complies with publisher guidelines and focuses on the information they need.

Absolutely. This is one of the primary benefits for a B2B-focused company like a last-mile delivery provider. Potential partners and venture capitalists conduct due diligence, and seeing your company mentioned on credible financial and business news sites acts as a strong third-party validation. When a potential retail partner or investor sees your company featured on sites like Business Insider or MarketWatch, it reduces their perceived risk. It signals that you are a legitimate, growing business worthy of their time and capital, making it easier to get that first meeting and close the deal.
