Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi guys, I've got an ecommerce client who has asked if we should generate a press release when they add a new range of products/add a new brand? Is this a good idea? Do we just publish it on their blog or do we send it our to PR websites to distribute with links back to the site. I don't want it to be spammy, just announcing a new brand. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Thanks
