PR TECHNIQUE: Weblogs: windows of marketing opportunity

PR TECHNIQUE: Weblogs: windows of marketing opportunity [PR Week]

When weblogs dawned a few years ago, PR experts were largely concerned with monitoring any negative comments they might carry. But now the attention has shifted to using them as positive marketing tools.

Some bloggers cried foul earlier this year when Dr Pepper/7Up provided samples of its new sweetened-milk drink, Raging Cow, to hundreds of bloggers whose sites have mass appeal to teenagers and young adults.

When pitching a blog, as with other media outlets, be familiar with what it covers. See if the site has any directions for submitting news items. Never approach a blog by pretending to be a member of the community it serves.

The key to good blogging is simple: have something interesting to say, and say it well.
