February 23, 2007; 02:11 AM

PRWeb, a leading online direct-to-consumer press release newswire, today announced a new "Easy Submit" service to simplify the press release process for online visibility through PRWeb.

The "Easy Submit" option provides a full service approach to the press release process with an assist from an experienced PRWeb editor. With this new submission option, a PRWeb editor will place and format a customer's press release in the PRWeb system, attach logos, photos and other files, tag the release with keywords and select relevant industry categories.

After selecting an online visibility distribution package for their press release, PRWeb customers now can choose to add the "Easy Submit" option for a $100 service fee.

"As an innovator and acknowledged leader in online news release distribution since 1997, PRWeb has always had an easy-to-use, (DIY) do-it-yourself platform to ensure its customers' news releases reach the media and the masses," said Joel Baker, president and chief operating officer of PRWeb. "With Easy Submit, we are making a hands-off, simple submission approach available to all of our customers who request an even easier submission process option with the added assistance of our experienced editorial staff."
