Build press distribution list yourself or buy - These are the pros and cons

11/29/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

Setting up your own press distribution list costs time - and therefore money. A press distribution list is a very important tool for sending your news to the right target group. There are two ways to build a press distribution list: You can build it yourself or buy it. Both options have their advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of building it yourself

The most important advantage of building a press distribution list yourself is the cost savings. If you build your own mailing list, you can save some costs as you don't have to pay for the services of an external company. Also, you can customize your mailing list specifically to your needs and build it to meet your specific requirements.

Disadvantages of building it yourself

The disadvantage of building a press distribution list yourself is the time it takes to set it up. Tasks that need to be completed include researching and gathering contact information, setting up an email distribution list, and testing the distribution list. Setting up such a distribution list can take some time and can be difficult for some people.

Advantages of purchase

The advantage of buying a press distribution list is that it saves time. When you buy a press distributor, you don't have to invest a lot of time to build the distribution system yourself. Instead, you can use a pre-made distribution system that is already set up and ready to use.

Disadvantages of buying

The disadvantage of buying a press manifold is the cost. A prefabricated manifold system is usually more expensive than a system you build yourself. Also, it's likely that you won't find all the features you need in your own manifold, which means you may have to add additional features that can cost more.

Founders beware - The pitfalls to avoid when taking the step into self-employment

11/21/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

1. Spending too much money: It is important to plan carefully and understand how much money you have available and how much you need to start up. You should not spend more than you can afford and make sure you have realistic financing.

2. Unclear goals: Before starting your own business, you should set clear goals so you know how to proceed and what you want to achieve.

3. Neglecting business planning: A business plan is a fundamental tool to start and run a business. Without such a plan, you have no direction and no clear idea of how to make your business successful.

4. Underestimating the competition: when trying to start your own business, you should not forget that there are already other companies trying to achieve the same thing. Therefore, it is important to learn about the competition and develop a plan on how to differentiate yourself from them and give yourself an advantage.

5. Not paying attention to the legal aspects: Before starting a business, it is important to learn about the legal framework and make sure you are doing everything right. This includes complying with all relevant laws and regulations.
