Three years ago, there was a real boom in real estate in the state of Toronto. Our family who lived there took a decision to move out, and sold our town home. The result was a nice tidy sum, enough to pay off a previous mortgage, and give a good profit. The money we got from this sale enabled us to purchase a large house in Winnipeg. We paid in cash for a house that had four bedrooms in it and seemed to have plenty of character! The relocation and parting, though not very pleasant, was worth every penny!

When we bought this house, it needed renovating and so the old owners demanded only $65,000 for it. Since then, some repairs have been carried out on the house. Of course, some more work has to be done. Like for instance, installing a solid hardwood floor over the entire living area. But these minor problems can be sorted out. A comforting factor is that the same house would have fetched huge dividends in the Toronto real estate market, and so was well worth it! The house is on a sprawling estate and it seems as if the property is almost double in size. Winnipeg real estate prices go up by 20% every year. So the new home would fetch at least $300,000 in the Toronto real estate market. If renovated completely, the price would go up to $500,000. The location also has a say in the price.

Recently I was browsing Toronto real estate listings, just to keep an eye on how the market is doing. I was shocked to realize that there are virtually no actual houses available for sale, regardless of condition, anywhere in the Toronto real estate market, for less than $250,000! I couldn’t believe it. Anyone looking to buy in a lower price range is left to choose from townhomes and condominiums. There are no longer any affordable houses in the City of Toronto, regardless of neighborhood, condition or amenities.

Imagine the thrill of living in a place where commuting to and from office is peaceful. No gridlocks to battle through, no evidence of road rage. Anyone who wants to live here can afford a house since it is only $100,000. There are umpteen houses to choose from, in a variety of neighborhoods. If you wish to put up new windows and high efficiency furnaces along with your fixer-upper, Manitoba Hydro offers loans at low interest rates. So there is no need to worry. The town homes and condominiums up for sale demand a maintenance fee; but this is only a fraction of what one would have to pay in Toronto.

Thus, all types of people can adjust to Winnipeg, for the real estate prices are within affordable range unlike the city of Toronto.

What is the best thing about Winnipeg is that life moves at a slower pace over here. Every one has time for each other. The children are happy with the wide open spaces. We keep in touch with family and friends, though we are far away. The silver lining on the cloud is that we took the right decision three years ago when we decided to move out here!

If you want to get publicity for your business via the media, press releases are an excellent way to do it. Here are 5 ways to boost the appeal of your press release.

Correct Format: There is a format that press releases need to follow. Make sure your yours is written in the correct format, as you will want it to look as professional as possible. It is also a good idea to double-check the grammar, punctuation and spelling before you send it in for submission.

Keep it Clear and Concise: Your press release should be no longer than two pages. Media outlets receive lots of press releases and don’t have time to read a ten page report. Keeping your writing clear and concise allow you to fit in the important facts without going over the two page limit. As you decide what information to include, answer the following questions: who, what, why, where, when, and how.

What Is The Reader Going To Gain: Give your press releases a call to action. Include something that is going to inspire readers to go to your event, visit your website, attend your grand opening, etc. Writing a blatant ad will be obvious. Incorporate the features and benefits of what you are promoting, and give information on what it will do for your target market.

For example, if you were promoting a new food processor, you need to go beyond just saying it’s smaller and takes up less space than other models. You need to state that the smaller size gives the customer the full power of a larger model, while helping them to save precious counter space in their kitchen.

Make it interesting. If your press release is boring, nobody is going to read past the first couple of lines. Try to find the line between simple facts and excitement. Back to the food processor example, instead of just saying “our new food processor will be available in the spring” try something like “out new space-saving food processor will be available this spring, just in time to help you chop the fresh vegetables you’re growing for your summer salads.”

Remember Your Target Market: As you write and submit your press releases, keep your target market in mind at all times. By keeping your audience in mind, you will be able to focus on what information to include and where to submit your press releases. For instance, if you are promoting an event related to children’s health, submitting a press release to the travel editor of your local paper isn’t going to help you.

The media won’t run a story on every single press release they receive, but if you follow these steps it’s going to put you above a large percentage of the other releases coming across their desk.
