Business Wire Offers Discounts to VaBIO Members
Members of the Virginia Biotechnology Association (VaBIO) are eligible for 10% off the standard charges for media releases through Business Wire. The group purchasing initiative, launched in conjunction with the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), offers special pricing and benefits that include:
- 10% discount off Business Wire’s standard published rates on news distribution services (either domestic, specialty and international circuits)
- Complimentary annual membership to Business Wire
- Distribution to national life science trade publications included at no additional charge with any distribution circuit selected
- Posting of the member company’s logo included with the company’s news releases at no additional charge
- Free Business Wire “NewsTrak Reach and Posting” reports that provide monitoring and reporting of the visibility, access and usage of news releases
Business Wire was selected as BIO’s news distribution partner after a comprehensive 9-month competitive bid/RFP and contract negotiations process. The process was guided and overseen by a committee of 13 member company representatives who have the primary responsibility of managing their company’s communications/IR program. After a thorough, methodical and objective review and analysis of the proposals submitted by the responding news distribution providers, the committee concluded that Business Wire and its package of benefits offered the greatest overall value to members.
All VaBIO members can participate in this Business Wire discount program. To learn more please contact Lee Marshall of Business Wire at 800-999-1178 or at lee.marshall@businesswire.com. Information about other cost-savings membership programs offered by VaBIO can be found here.
