  • We know that you wear many hats when running a business, and time is a struggle. If you cannot set aside 60 per week for your PR, then delegating your press outreach is a saviour. Hiring a VA or an intern/assistant to focus solely on your PR will help you get the ball rolling.

    As we always say, if you're not doing anything, you're not going to be featured in magazines.

  • PR is necessary if you want to increase your brand awareness, build trust and credibility, reach your audience, and convert them into buying customers, but it’s an ongoing process that takes time and persistence in order to see results.

    When starting out, you’ll need to build a rapport with the press and you’re also working to the magazine’s lead times and themes.

    PR is a marathon, not a sprint - and it’s certainly not a quick fix. But by doing your PR consistently long-term you’ll be able to achieve continuous coverage and enjoy the many benefits of PR which is crucial for brand growth.

    Brands with a great product and commitment to their PR will see the best results.

  • You can cancel your subscription at any time. Once cancelled, you will have access until what would have been your next payment date. Once your membership expires, you will no longer be able to access the information or database.

    If you’re an existing member looking to cancel, simply log in to your dashboard, select ‘Profile’, then ‘Billing’ and ‘Cancel your subscription’.

    Please note that we’re unable to pause memberships.

  • If you’re working on getting your brand and images ready, then our Prepare for press course (launching 2024) is the perfect option for you, join the waitlist here. It’ll teach you what images you need and help get your images right for press the first time around. This way, you’ll invest in strong on-brand imagery that is relevant for PR so that you can increase your chances of getting features.

  • We don’t pitch to the press on behalf of brands. Through our platform, you’ll have access to resources, press databases, support calls, a Community group and a team of PR experts by your side, making the pitching easy and efficient.

    By taking control of your own PR, you’ll save thousands of pounds that you can invest in other areas of your business.

    PR is not a dark art and anyone can pitch to the press when they know how to. We help give you the confidence and knowledge that you need to manage your own PR seamlessly.

  • To keep our memberships affordable, we don’t offer 1-2-1 calls. However, we run PR membership tours where we show you exactly what you get access to and how we can support you. Register for our next tour here.

  • All sales (to both UK and rest of world) are marked up by 20% inline with UK VAT. Purchases made within the UK will be eligible for a 20% VAT breakdown invoice. Sales made outside the UK will show the 20% mark up with a 0% VAT rate. In this instance this additional charge is retained by PR Dispatch to cover associated administration of rest of world transactions. We do not offer reverse VAT or VAT refunds. Location is based on your IP address of where you are when you first sign up to become a member.

  • Currently, PR Dispatch is UK-based, but we are looking to expand overseas. It's definitely on our agenda. Sign up to our mailing list to be the first to know when we do.

  • We're different from a traditional PR agency as there is no middle man/woman when contacting the press. We’re an affordable PR membership platform that gives you access to everything you need to be able to contact editors directly, and establish a relationship with them.

    You get access to resources, databases, weekly support calls and a virtual team of PR experts always on hand to answer your questions in our members-only Community group.

  • PR Dispatch currently isn't for service-based businesses. We work solely with product-based businesses - but keep an eye out as you never know what's to come in the future!

  • By becoming a PR membership member you get access to a comprehensive, searchable database consisting of over 800 of contacts working across a wide range of magazines. These range from mainstream UK magazines, newspaper supplements, business-focused titles, and independent and ethical publications.
