After you have written a press release and get it published, it is time to start over with a fresh one, right? Not so fast. You can recycle your press releases and still get very valuable Free PR.
One effective way to do this it to add a link in your email signature. You can simply put in a sentence saying you were featured in the local paper or boast that your company was in the New Yorker magazine. If the newspaper or magazine has a link to the article, put that in your signature as well so anybody who is interested can read the Free PR without having to search for it.
(My Free PR ) In reaction to the frustrations of parents and teachers, Arsa Toys helps provide ways to incorporate creative
learning into children’s lives. In recent years, thousands of schools across the nation have been forced to reduce or eliminate their
allocations for creative learning programs, necessitating more involvement by
parents and teachers to ensure that students are still being encouraged to
express themselves through the arts. In an effort to help make resources for
parents and teachers more readily available and affordable, ArsaToys.com, a
website devoted to providing educational toys for kids of all ages, added a
large portion of the Crayola® line of art supplies.

Budget cuts for education
have steadily increased over the past decade. Teachers have voiced their
frustration over certain stipulations outlined in the No Child Left Behind Act,
which they say has put pressure on schools to improve test scores in the areas
of math and science and pushed fine arts education to the bottom of the
priority list. The combination of these factors has caused the majority of the
cutbacks in arts programs across the country, leaving hundreds of students
without the proven benefits of creative learning.
According to astudy released
in July 2006 by the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan,
students who participate in arts programs show increased performance in their
critical thinking, literacy, and language assessments, in addition to
increasing their involvement in school and allowing them to express themselves.
With no end in sight to educational budget cutbacks, more art programs are sure
to disappear.
“Encouraging creative
learning at home and outside of the standard curriculum will be key for those
students who are not able to experience arts programs in school,” says Les Harvey, manager of Arsa Toys. “It can be as
simple as sitting down with your kids and drawing a picture together, or taking
them to a museum and talking about the pieces that you view.”
