New Paltz, NY -- (SBWIRE) --06/27/2011 -- Small, home-based and local businesses that need only targeted regional publicity now have an alternative to costly PR firms or distribution services. Gebbie Press has released PRPro, their new online press release distribution service. Local businesspeople often know where to find their hometown newspaper, but most don't know how to contact all the radio stations they can hear or the newspapers in the surrounding towns. PRPro allows users to enter a zipcode and a mile radius and then returns all the TV, radio, daily and weekly newspapers within that area!

Users may then email their press release to the selected media and download the media list to make phone calls, send media kits by postal mail or send faxes. Editor and publisher Mark Gebbie says "Gebbie Press is a true Mom and Pop shop. My wife and I run the business, so we are well aware of the problems facing small businesses who need publicity but cannot afford the hefty price tag that comes with hiring a PR firm."

In business since 1955, Gebbie Press is well known and respected within the PR field for providing quality media contact information at the most cost effective price. "Our book, data on CD or online service all sell for far less than a PR firm would charge to even write one press release, let alone distribute it for you," the editor says.

Gebbie Press media contact information is in use at thousands of universities, PR, marketing and advertising firms, public libraries, all branches of local, state and federal government, major corporations, associations, hospitals, non-for-profit organizations and many other organization that need to publicize products or services.
