A life saver, and affordable.
What do you like best?
A super powerful newswire service, with a full report and a friendly team.
It also provides a whitelabel service, so we were able to publish news from our advertiser account, and not abnewswire. This made it possible to use their report for our customers, as it is quite well done.
Also after publishing an article on their network, it becomes a lot easier to pitch it to local news, as they can look it up online and see the presence.
Also includes you in google news for a couple of days.
What do you dislike?
The pricing style is a bit strange : $40 for one release, but $100 for unlimited releases for a month. I guess its a strategy but a weekly price would probably get them much more business.
You can upload only one article, which will be copy pasted all over their network. I'd rather be able to upload 4-5 versions that rotate, so its not that spammy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's actually a really good service, and no other newswire really compared. You get what you pay for so don't over expect, but it does the job.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We needed a way to publish news online in a fast and efficient manner before pitching them to local newspapers. Abnewswire offered an affordable solution to that problem and helped us get into major newspapers in our region.
