One of the most important aspects to running any business, online or offline is the reputation that business’ can build. In a bricks and mortar world, your customers are the primary starting point. There are other avenues such as sponsoring local sports or charities and promoting certain angles such as being green. For an online business, there is an opportunity to develop a blog - this can be a tremendous tool to developing a business’ reputation.
A blog is one area where, with a little careful wording, a business can blow its own trumpet. As a business owner, you can blog about your history, your achievements, your products or services and your personnel.
Being able to interact positively with customers or potential customers creates air of trust. Potential customers can see that you go out of your way to help customers and those seeking information.
If you include pages that show visitors how to use, update or service your products you will find visitors returning frequently. You can also add FAQ pages that are interactive, that is, you allow individuals to comment or add their own experiences.
The end result is a blog that is a perfect advertisement for your business. If you are ever in a situation where negative talk is generated around your products or business, your blog is the first place to start addressing the issues. A business blog is your own publication where you can publish material that may help fight any negative publicity.
Having a blog that has helped to generate a positive reputation is an asset to any business that cannot be measured in simple ROI or dollar terms. A positive reputation is an intangible, but it is one of the most important intangibles any business can possess.
