Write a press release announcing the opening of your business or highlighting something new about your business or products/services and submit it to your local and/or regional newspaper. One of the best ways to stay in the eye of the public is through the power of the press. Writing a press release about your business is a formal way of letting the public know that you are up and running and ready for clients.
Read the newspaper, and find press releases for other businesses that are opening, and follow their format for writing your own release. Each time your business adds a new or unusual twist to your business, or is scheduling an upcoming event, write about this, and send it to your local newspaper. Write about how this new product or service will support and connect you to your local community. In the closing of your press release, make sure to leave your contact information, including name, telephone number, e-mail address and website.
NOTE: Before you send the press release to your newspaper, contact the paper by telephone, and speak to the person who is responsible for “New Business Articles.” Let him/her know that you are sending the press release, and ask what you should do to follow up once the article has been received.

Anesthesiologist M.D. Offers Expert Defense/Plaintiff Case Analysis of Potential Medical Malpractice
Charlottesville, VA -- April 12, 2001 -- Before you invest time and money defending or proceeding with an anesthesia-related medical malpractice case, check with expert board-certified anesthesiologist Joseph A. Stirt, M.D. Whether you are a defense or plaintiff attorney, Dr. Stirt can not only tell you if you have a case but also how best to structure it, based on a detailed
medical review.
No newcomer to cases involving possible anesthesia-related malpractice, Dr. Stirt has 15 years of experience. Presented orally or as a written report, his in-depth analysis can save you hours of preparation and thousands of dollars. He is prepared to step in at the last minute when another expert suddenly withdraws from a case. Availability and rapid response make his service unique.
According to Dr. Stirt, "The question I get most often is, 'Is it malpractice?' My job is to sort out the bad outcomes due to occurrences that fall within the standard of care from those that do not. The question of whether a case involves negligence is one that looms over every potential malpractice action. If answered correctly, it can save both defendants and plaintiffs from mental anguish and ill-advised pursuit of a defense or lawsuit."
Dr. Stirt serves on the faculty of a major U.S. medical school affiliated with a top-rated tertiary care medical center. He sits on state medical boards as an expert reviewer and expert witness in anesthesiology. He has written books, book chapters, and numerous scientific papers, as well as articles in the medical-legal literature, received honors and awards in medical teaching and scholarship, and has 18 years of academic anesthesia experience ranging from Post Anesthesia Care Unit Director and Outpatient Surgical Unit Director to his current position as Clinical Associate Professor of Anesthesiology.
Dr. Stirt is a diplomat of the American Board of Anesthesiology and the National Board of Medical Examiners. He has been an invited reviewer and lecturer in anesthesiology throughout the U.S. and Europe and has appeared on CNBC.
Accessibility is a unique and important aspect of Dr. Stirt's services. His expertise in anesthesiology is available at any time. He does not work on a contingency fee basis. Your initial telephone consultation is free.

First Internet Maps Showcased On New Poster From Peacock Maps
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A new wall poster reproducing nine historic "first maps" of the Internet was published today by Peacock Maps, Inc., a Washington D.C. area company.
"It's a unique poster" said Martin Dodge, Peacock's Director of Research, "because it brings together some of the most important original and often hand drawn diagrams and maps made by the Internet's inventors from 1964 to 1988."
The images shown on the poster were also selected for their artistic value, Dodge said. "We wanted to tell the story of the Internet's early years in maps, but in a way that would appeal to people new to the Internet as well as to tech-savvy networking engineers."
The maps and diagrams on Peacock's new poster have historical significance too, explained Dodge. "They chart the layout of several pioneering packet data networks that no longer exist and document the vision of the Internet's founders."
The poster can be viewed and ordered online for $29.95 + shipping at http://www.peacockmaps.com
The Peacock web site also provides detailed information about each of the original maps on the poster and has numerous links to resources about the history of the Internet.
Peacock Maps is a Washington D.C. area poster company specializing in Internet themes. The company's "Whole Internet" posters have been sold in more than 30 countries and have been featured in articles by the New York Times, Canadian Geographic, Paris Match, Mercator's World and other publications.
