Businesses, nonprofits and anyone with a story to tell can use the free sample press releases from PressReleaseTemplates.net. More than a dozen new press release templates were recently added to the site.

The new printable press releases cover topics such as: announcing a new company or merger, a business name change, business anniversary, a new hire or addition to the board of directors, a new location, and more. There are also new industry-specific releases for artists and restaurants.

"PressReleaseTemplates.net is perfect for small business owners or anyone with a tight PR budget," said Kevin Savetz, the site's creator. "These sample press releases were all professionally written and can easily be customized to suit individual situations."

Each press release is written with boilerplate copy. While the content of each release can be simply cut and pasted from the website, it's also free to download a DOC version that can be edited in Microsoft Word or another compatible program, typing into the release to customize it.

There are now 47 sample press releases to choose from, as well as articles with tips on how to write a news release.

There are more than 80 sites in the FreePrintable.net family of free printables sites created by Savetz Publishing, Inc., a company devoted to creating useful and informative web sites of interest to consumers and small businesses.
