Even large corporations are getting in on the blogging band wagon.

A blog can fill the half-way spot from no contact to full email contact, by giving your customers the right to decide when they want to hear from you. Offer options like an RSS feed, subscriptions, or simply announce your new posts via your social network sites. Now, your customers will know when you have a new special offering, when a new product is being introduced, or even just general information on your industry.

It Shouldn’t Be All About You

While the blog is there to help create excitement and publicity for your offerings, it shouldn’t be all about you. Always provide something of value to your readers to keep them coming back. People reading your blog may need helpful tips and hints to resolve problems in their lives that deal with your industry. Take their point of view and include this type of information on your blog and your customers will appreciate you for it and return to read more.
