Branding & Marketing Blogs: Happy Blogtipping Day

Today is Blogtipping Day! I'm going to focus on Branding & Marketing Blogs. Thanks to Mike Sansone at Converstations for the reminder! The way it works is:

  • Pick a blog
  • Share three positives about the blog
  • Offer one tip to improve the blog
  • Tag it with Blogtipping

Actually, I think I'm supposed to do 3 blogs, but only have time to review, write & post one blog for the tipping right now. Check back later today for the other two!

B2B International Blog:

Positives:

  1. Clean, snappy layout. A photo or graphic with almost every post.
  2. Great material. Long, thoughtful posts. And regular posts.
  3. I especially like: the industrial branding ebook with PDF downloads of each chapter and podcasts. Truly a Web 2.0 use!

Improvements:

  • I'd like to see a photo of the author to make more of a connection. It feels a little impersonal like a "company" is talking, not an individual. I'd like more of a personal one-on-one feel. Especially now that there is a book out.

I've bloglined this one with my RSS feeder, so I'll be watching to see if they post a photo of the person behind it!

Chris,

Firstly I am glad that you have found our B2B blog useful. We try and keep our blog fresh with latest thoughts, podcasts and e-books/white papers on subjects ranging from market research through to marketing and branding issues.

Our blog has been very successful in creating conversations with like-minded individuals & businesses; so much so that our 'Practical Guide to Market Research' e-book has now been downloaded over 23,000 times.

I take your point about personalizing our posts and so we have added in a photo of the author of the two e-books available for download.

If anyone else has any comments on how we can improve the blog please visit http://www.b2binternational.com/b2b-blog/ and let us know.

Speak soon
