NZ businesses can now join NetPRress Media for free

July 10, 2007: With its recent launch into the Australian market, NetPRess - an online media resource and business promotion tool - has made a number of structural changes to its membership, allowing all new members the opportunity to join www.netpressmedia.com free.
"The new structure means business subscribers now automatically gain free access to our basic service offerings such as publishing unlimited press releases, events and access to online statistics so they can monitor results, says Vicki Wilson founding director of NetPRess.

" And, if they like the results they see, they can then choose to upgrade and purchase additional services such as media alerts or e-alerts or simply remain as they are - a business subscriber free of charge."

NetPRess is a free business promotional tool and media resource, proactively connecting Australia and New Zealand's business community with the media - designed to help businesses grow and journalists find a story.

"We're here to support businesses in their growth, with a particular focus on the SMB market, proactively connecting them with the media and providing free sensible advice to help them promote themselves more effectively as well as connecting them with fellow members from the marketing/PR industry who can help push their business to another level."

A free business subscription with NetPRess allows members to upload unlimited press releases and events, profile a comprehensive listing in the NetPRess business directory, including company spokespeople, contact details and a business description, which is made readily available and searchable to hundreds of opt-in media subscribers, from across the media spectrum, throughout New Zealand.

NetPRess has well and truly exceeded expectations, experiencing rapid growth since launching to the New Zealand market in 2006. And, having witnessed that great opportunities arise with increased visitors to their site each month, Wilson felt that opening up membership free for subscribers to access their basic services was a great way forward for NetPRess.

"We know that by encouraging and familiarising as many new subscribers to netPRess everyone will benefit. Having witnessed first hand that great opportunities arise with increased visitors to our site each month, it made practical business sense to launch the new subscription structure alongside our launch into the Australian market.

"And, as a result of these changes, media subscribers will continue to have a valuable resource, with an even greater selection of spokespeople, contacts and story ideas to choose from while business subscribers will benefit from the increased popularity of our site with media in New Zealand and now Australia.
