What are Some Tips to Create a Successful Mat Release?

1. Plan ahead. Many editors look for content 2-3 months ahead of time. The sooner you get your content in front of them, the better chance for exposure and high-impact results.
2. Be unique. Make your content stand out and grab readers’ attention.
3. Catchy headlines. If it catches editors’ eyes, they know it will engage their audience too.
4. Solve a problem/inform. Helpful tips, solutions and advice are always great subjects.
5. High-quality photography. Visuals can greatly enhance your content, so choose a high-resolution image to grab attention.
6. Take advantage of trends. Align your brand’s message with trending topics and timely themes.
7. Think evergreen. In addition to trending subjects, evergreen topics are also a great way to supplement content between major holidays and events to ensure your Mat Release can be used any time of year.
8. Pursue a target demographic with strategically themed content. Consider targeting cultural or demographic groups that fit your intended audience.
