Blogging and E-retailing Debbie Weil Author of  The Corporate Blogging Book Oct. 20, 2008
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Let’s talk about… Hey, ask questions!
Does your brand need a blog?
Fear Why aren’t more CEOs  and companies blogging? ,[object Object],[object Object]
“ We shop, therefore we blog” Example on page 66 in my book
800-CEO-Read blog Another example on page 66 in my book
Zappos.com blogs
Zappos on Twitter
Zappos CEO on Twitter He has15,081 followers and he’s following 17,573 Twitterers
Why do these e-retail  blogs work?
You want to be #1 in the online conversation about your brand
What else?
“It’s the content  (and the writing), stupid” 1. Simplicity 2. Unexpectedness 3. Concreteness 4. Credibility 5. Emotion 6. Story -  from Made to Stick
Good blogging is good writing and good writing is storytelling…  Read Andrew Sullivan’s essay, “Why I Blog” in Nov. 2008 issue of The Atlantic Monthly http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200811/andrew-sullivan-why-i-blog
To blog successfully, take off your marketing or PR hat and adopt a new mindset…  Deliver value without selling
Let’s define community From Seth Godin’s new book, Tribes**: “A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea.” ** Highly recommended
Blogs are one piece of the social media puzzle How do you use these tools to create community?
Get to know the tools. You’ll be ahead of the game.
- One in 5 U.S. adults has no landline - 49% of young adults (18 – 29) are cell phone  only  users Harris Poll  April 4, 2008 Mobile
Parting Thoughts
This is a revolution
Walking the Talk How many of you have your own blogs? How many of you are Twittering?
