What does a press distribution list cost?

08/08/2022 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

In principle, you can compile a press distribution list yourself. In this case, your labor costs, i.e. your internal hourly rate, are incurred for the research and keeping the distribution list up to date.

Alternatively, you can also have a press distribution list compiled thematically. The costs for this are usually in the mid 3-digit to low 4-digit range for a few editorial offices.

Or you might consider our Media & PR Database 2022. It helps you save maximum time when creating your own press distribution list and include media you would have missed if you had researched it manually. Choose thematically appropriate media from over 16,000 entries in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Now from only €379.
