Blogging For Business
Blogging For Business
When you create a blog you are creating a type of advertising venue that is focused purely on you and your company. You can say whatever you like and you can focus on whatever topic you think will be most interesting to your clientele, or in this case, your readers. You can show them exactly why your product or services are important to them and the benefits it will provide them. The trick is to do it in a way that is both entertaining and unobtrusive. Don’t make them feel like they are reading an advertisement. People don’t like advertising. Make it fun and personal by talking about your own experiences and your own views or the experiences and views of others. Talk about relevant media findings or news worthy events in your field. Integrate you product or service in your blog entries occasionally and you’ll soon find that you have many readers who now have exposure to your business on a regular basis.
Your blog will also make you more approachable. It is important for people to see you as a real person. Why? Because the fact of the matter is that people buy from those they feel that they have a relationship with. If you have to buy a stereo and there are two electronic stores in town who do you buy from? Do you buy from the store where you never see the manager around or do you buy from the store where the manager has a presence and come out to see how you are doing and asks about your wife and kids? Of course, you buy from the one you feel comfortable with. You buy from the guy who you feel has an interest in you. Likewise, blogging help you develop a relationship with potential buyers. They read your blog a couple times a week and when they leave comments they get a response. So the next time they are looking for product x they will remember you and they’ll come to you before they buy from someone they’ve never had any contact with before.
Finally, you get to know what it is your clients are really interested in when you blog. They give you feedback, they share their ideas, and you can exchange ideas with them. If you want to know how to market your products, find out what is important to your customers. Do they look for convenience above price when they are purchasing products like yours or do they just want fast delivery times? Knowing these things can help you to develop content for your blog and for your web site. In the long run it will help your provide a better product or service and increase your sales.
If you have a business online, blogging is one of the simplest and easiest tools you can use to get closer to your future buyers. When they get to know you and trust you they will be more likely to buy from you. Their input and thoughts that come through your blog may be just the edge you need to get ahead of the competition.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
