We are an internet startup focussing on social media press releases.
All press releases in Prezly used to have the same structure: texts and image in the left column and video’s, related conversations, links, attachments and contact info in the right. That solution wasn’t optimal for all releases because it could result in unbalanced layouts. That’s a problem of the past.
You now have control of where you place most of your content blocks. You do this by clicking the right position when you are creating or editing a press release.
Enjoy!
Your browser refresh button is going to suffer hard from now on. We just released a mayor update to reporting in Prezly – showing live information about your contacts behaviour. It will be hard to refrain yourself from hitting the refresh button, waiting for new tweets and incoming links to show up.
We decided to invest more in reporting because measuring the impact of your press releases has always been a main goal of Prezly. We want your communication to be effective. So as from today clients with a medium or large account can immediately see on their dashboard what the response is to their press release emails.
The reports section has also had a complete overhaul: clients can see in more detail what the recent activity has been of their contacts. They can see who opened their emails. Who clicked to see the press release and who clicked which link. They can also see who tweeted about their press releases.
It doesnt stop there. More updates to the whole reporting section are in the making. We are working on improved integration of your contacts and of Google Analytics. We decided to already release this version of the reporting as it is a big step step forward for all our clients.
As always – we’re open for feedback on how to further improve. Just drop us a line.
Personalising the look of your press rooms just became a whole lot simpler. As from today all users of a medium and large account can style their press rooms by themselves.
The workflow is fast and easy : upload a custom logo and adjust the colors of the texts and links. The changes will be immediately visible on your press releases.
While we were at it we’ve also made sure that users with multilangual press releases can add company descriptions in multiple languages.
A lot of people will be happy with these improvements: we reworked the contact management architecture to be easier in use and to allow us to expand upon contact management in the future.
The hightlights are:
CSV import: Yes! It’s here. This might have been the most asked for feature. You can now easily add multiple contacts to Prezly. Just export them from your contact management software into the common CSV format and import them into Prezly, all at once. To ease this procedure we provide a CSV template file that will show you which fields to export and in which way.
Tag contacts instead of grouping them: grouping contacts proved to be inflexible. To add a contact to multiple groups you had to add it each time. This is solved now: you can easily give contacts multiple tags and when you want to send an email via Prezly you can filter and select your contacts via the tags.
People that have been using groups dont need to worry, your groups have been converted to tags so you can just continue to use the service how you were. It only became simpler.
Many of our clients publish press releases in multiple languages. After a while now their press rooms got very large having many releases in two or three languages. That’s why we’re introducing multiple language functionality. Users can now enable this feature and neatly group their press releases per language in their press rooms.
How to go about it:
You can find it under the ‘language settings’ tab.
Choose the default language that you’d like your press room to be in.
When you are creating a press release you can choose the language of the release.
On your dashboard and press release overview you can press the ‘translate’ button to translate an existing press release. For your convenience all texts and media assets of the original press release will be copied to the translated press release.
In your press room you’ll now have tabs on the top right to display press releases in the available languages. On press releases that have translations you’ll now also have a link to the translations of that press release.
For now there are three languages available in the system: English, French and Dutch. If you’d like us to add languages feel free to contact us via the support section.
These new features bring us one step closer to a mature version of Prezly without the beta tag. In a few weeks we’ll release the pricing options and turn on the payment gateway. Stay tuned.
