Hugh Moore, Director of Content and Strategy at Emerging Insider Communications understands that blog maintenance isn't easy. In his latest post on PR Newswire's Small Business PR Toolkit, Moore provides key reasons that providing fresh content on your blog can help to grow your small business.
- Show you care. With the number of potential customers browsing a company's site before making a purchase continuing to rise, a neglected blog can leave a bad taste and encourage your audience to seek out another solution.
- Foster loyalty. Consistently providing your audience with valuable content will inevitably develop a sense of gratitude. Moore states that a grateful customer is a loyal customer and maintaining a company blog can be an easy way to obtain this.
- Provide thought leadership. A company blog is an important tool that can demonstrate knowledge, expertise and approachableness.
- Increase online visibility. Every piece of content that is posted presents an opportunity for your content to be shared, linked to and tweeted. This helps you get found, by expanding your online presence and establishing more, higher quality inbound links.
