Blogs & When to email

The debate rages on as more and more business is conducted trough blogs. With Q4 and an economic downturn, the raging questions of where to place resources is underway. We believe and continue to see tremendous opportunity in blogs for b to c and b to b efforts.

Here is a recent headline in the topic: Blogs are Pervasive and Part of Our Daily Lives

"There have been a number of studies aimed at understanding the
size of the Blogosphere, yielding widely disparate estimates of
both the number of blogs and blog readership. All studies agree,
however, that blogs are a global phenomenon that has hit the
mainstream.

The reported numbers vary but agree that blogs are here to stay" is the proclamation.

After blogs our next most frequently asked questions are related to email. How much, when and what to whom are the questions.

On the question of the following, "Emails sends. When is best. Key to know for Q4" this is a piece we found interesting and we plan to test with clients in the coming weeks.

Sunday-night anxiety. It's that nervous feeling that creeps up on you when you can picture all the work piled up on your desk for Monday morning. Fortunately or not, depending on how you look at it, people seem to be channeling that anxiety into action by using Sundays to check their e-mail before the official start to the work week.

The newest e-mail metrics report from MailerMailer confirms this new trend: e-mails sent on Sundays garner the highest open rates. From looking in my own inbox, I can only guess that the higher Sunday open rates are due to the lower overall e-mail volume. Typically, I don't get a lot of work-related e-mail on Sundays (yet!). If I were to check my e-mail on Sundays, which I try to refrain from doing, I would probably have more time to do online shopping.

The eve of the election, Social networks and twittering away...

As the country engages in the last rites of this presidential election we have one thing to say to
everyone. Go vote. Make your voice be heard as it does and can make a difference. We are fortunate to live in the American democracy.

As we continue to spend more time with various social network applications for our businesses and those of clients here are some interesting observations and morsels uncovered today.

Guy Kawasaki's use of Twitter is a great living example of how the new Twitter phenomena is driving the success of his online property alltop.com.

This is a great interview with Guy Kawasaki on his efforts and project:

We continue to be pleasantly pleased with the combined effort of our blogs, Facebook, MySpace, Linked In, Twitter and 2Dogs effort. The combined strength we are seeing continues further time and resource commitment. Observation: it is not one silver bullet but a synergistic strength to reach the market very effectively. It needs to be ongoing and thought out. This entire space allows lots of testing and quick response.

I have been using Twitter for the last couple of weeks and keep finding great resources and making connections. Very surprised. Let's share tweets...
