Why was WECAI™ created? |

WECAI™ was created to give women who do business on the Web the opportunity to find and do business with other women on the Web locally and internationally. Heidi Richards, the founder realized how valuable her own international network of women had become for her to network and do business with. WECAI™ is the community from which Heidi can share her resources as well as expand her own network.

What do I do with the media releases you send to me? |
|
The media releases are used to send to any contacts you feel would be interested in your news. It is a great way to get publicity for your company or organization and to call attention to WECAI. Simply fill in the blanks (those things highlighted in red) and send the release to any of your media contacts. Your contacts could and should include your local newspapers, radio and television stations and trade or professional journals/magazines. Be sure to include any other professional organizations to which you belong in your media database. If you do not have their preferred contact information, call them and ask to whom to send it to and if they prefer releases be sent via fax or email.
