You should always follow up your press release with a phone call, that way you can draw attention to it, and increase the probability of it being picked up. I found out from a recent publicity drive, that even if you provide all the information in the press release, the journalist will still question you about the event anyway if they are interested in it. Most of the times when I call, I usually have to send it to a different address, as the one generally available on a website etc doesn't get checked that regularly. Personally i wouldn't pay someone to write or distribute a press release. If your item is news worthy, and you make contact with an individual, it will be published. Product press releases are a different kettle of fish though.
