Paws and Tales Games Press Releases

I’ve recently taken on the role of Product Manager for an online game, pawsandtalesgames.com. As a product manager, I’m responsible for the product design, development, quality and marketing. Since I submitted the Project Charter approximately a year ago, I’ve seen the product go from a few scribbles on a white board to a it’s current state online. As much fun as the development and testing stages were the current marketing stage of the project is the most challenging for me as my marketing experience in the trenches is shallow to say the least. However, since I believe that specialization is for insects, I believe that I’m up for the task at hand: to drive as much traffic to the site as possible in the next 6-12 months to increase the current user base of approximately 100 to approximately 100,000.

My first step was to submit a press release to the various online news-wires to create some internet chatter. my first few online press releases are located here: Providential Pictures Announces New Paws and Tales Games MMOG Website, at providential-pictures-announces-new-paws-and-tales-games-mmog-website. Here’s a few more that will be posted by Wed. Jun. 17th at http://www.prleap.com/pr/137137/ and at www.onlinepressreleases.com.

I’ve used the following sites and included a few stats just in case you’re ever in need of some quick and inexpensive PR.
