Brand Blogs Capture the Attention of Some Companies

Brand Blogs Capture the Attention of Some Companies
NYT October 24, 2005

Faithful consumers have dedicated their blogs to their favorate brands:

thebarqsman.com - news about Barq's
hackingnetflix.com - about Netflix
firstinthirst.typepad.com -about sports drink Gatorade
starbucksgossip.typepad.com - about Starbucks


Blog can be part of important 'word of mouth', like the customer reviews on Amazon.com, which help customer make decisions about what to buy.

"And according to a survey released this spring by Yankelovich, a marketing firm based in Chapel Hill, N.C., a third of all consumers would prefer to receive product information from friends and specialists rather than from advertising."

"It's a 24/7 focus group that's transparent and out in the open," Said Steve Rubel"the opportunity here is for companies to find their brand ambassadors."
