Is the price related to the package you choose monthly or yearly?
• The starters package of €99,- is not related to time, you get 200 credits. You can always buy more credits
for any amount you want. The annual subscription, is per year, but if not all credits are used, you can
always take them to the next year. And additionally, you pay 1 credit for 1 press release send to a

How much does a credit cost?
• In general, €0,35. If you have an annual subscription €0,25
And finally, how do we know for sure that the journalist has done something with the press
release?
• You do not. It depends how interesting and relevant your content-news is, the more interesting the better
the chance. We will always distribute you press release on twitter and our blogs like Africa Business
Communities for free if it is real news (not advertising – like buy this product).
And could this press release also be a editorial/article/advertisement?

20. Client - IQPC Recommendation
“I came across Africa Business Communities
when we were organising our East African call
centre event. I was looking for some East African
specific LinkedIn groups and came across this
company as they managed many-many African
groups on LinkedIn. I approached Africa Business
Communities right away to see how they could
help us in promoting the event. Not only were
they very prompt in response but also helpful in
answering many queries. We generated revenue
close to US$15,000 for our event. Also, they offer
complimentary marketing services which is why I
utilise their services for every African event we
organise. I would highly recommend Africa
Business Communities to anyone looking to reach
out to the African market.”
