Whatever role you play in the wide world of business marketing – from small business owner to advertising department intern – chances are you’re aware of the concept of writing and maintaining a business blog. The internet is littered with blogs written by all types of people; the stay-at- home mom looking to share her daily experiences, the film student blogging his way through his documentary-making assignments, the business CEO seeking a way to connect with his clients. Blogging is a trend that is seemingly here to stay, and that can benefit your business in many ways when executed correctly.

A blog gives your company a voice! Through blog posts, you can talk freely with your customers about new products, services you offer, trends in your industry and other information pertinent to the community, readership and customer base that you serve. Additionally, a well-written blog allows you the opportunity to be viewed as an expert your field, generates traffic to your business website, and provides you with an opportunity to build a sense of connection and community with your customers.

When it comes to efficient, easy ways to share information with your customers, a blog is, hands down, the best way to maintain an active conversation with existing and potential clients alike! Your company’s blog is by far your most powerful way to share your voice and online presence with readers – making you a source of written content and information they trust and depend upon for needs related to your specific industry.

The key to producing great content for your readers is to provide well- planned, thorough posts covering a wide variety of content types.
