A blog is a web site that is formatted much like an online journal. Blogs can be used for general commentary or to record events and news about a person or a company. Blogs have become a staple in the online community within the past several years. Technorati, a blog monitoring company, currently monitors 112.8 million blogs from around the world.

By creating a blog, you are encouraging two-way communication. The author and the reader of the blog can develop a relationship and communicate through the ‘comments section,’ allowing each person to have open conversations about the subject matter.

Because of the recent surge in blogs, it is very important to monitor conversations about your company that are occurring within the blogosphere. By researching the various blog posts and comments about your company, you gain priceless insight into what your customers want and need and what they’re saying about your company. It is also a great way to combat negative publicity and deal with customers on a one-on-one, personal basis.

While traditional forms of media such as newspapers, magazines and television remain vital forms of publicity, blogs have become just as important a tool in the armory of marketing and public relations.

The Impact Group will work with your company to help develop personal relationships with bloggers that cover your topic area and initiate conversation in the online community, much like we do for traditional media relations. By incorporating an online presence in blogs with the traditional forms of publicity, we can help propel your organization to the next level!
