Do not capitalize titles to elevate your boss or company. Never capitalize titles like "President" or "Chairman". Capped titles should only be applied to things like names of countries or political heads of State.

Refrain from creating new words or phrases. Instead of saying, "grow economy" verbs like 'expand,' or 'increase,' still work just as well. ·

Write in active voice. Remember that no one likes to read poorly written copy. Brush up on your grammar and never use passive voice, which is boring.

Whether you are a PR professional or a small-business owner writing press releases in-house, you must know how media writes. Keep in mind that journalists expect quality level and same attention to detail in your copy that their editors demand from their own stories. If you violate these rules, here is yet another instance where your release will receive a one-way trip to reporter's trash can.

The restaurant offered an AKG cheese-plate and wine to a very reasonable price together with other sponsors. The waiters/waitresses were briefed in facts of exhibition and sponsorship concept to discuss case with their customers.
