Tips on emailing press releases to Hotel Online
  1. Email releases to [email protected] 
  2. Your return email address should be from a real person - not [email protected]
  3. Do not use bulk email or lists to send press releases to Hotel Online.
  4. Think about your subject line; Words such as 'free' or 'file attached' may be ignored by us. ALL CAPS and punctuation should not be used.
  5. Plain text pasted into the email works best, however, if your release has tables, do email as a word document (not zipped). We encourage photos and logos, but they must be sent as an attachment in .jpeg or .gif.
  6. Adobe (.pdf) documents are time consuming to work with and we request they not be used.
  7. Do not use ALL CAPS in the press release headline.
  8. Do not use colored backgrounds.
