The Benefits of Blogging for Businesses

Blogging has come a long way since it first began in the late 90’s. In the early days of blogs, it was necessary for individuals to have knowledge of HTML. In recent years, many sites have launched that provide anyone with basic computer abilities, the opportunity to blog.

This new trend has transformed from personal online journals, to a way people share a range of information and thoughts. With the intense competition in the world of marketing, every business is fighting to stay one step ahead of their competitors.

Businesses have adapted blogging as a way to connect with their customers and clients, as well as promote their business and products. The following reasons listed in this post are just a few ways blogs can benefit your business.

Communication

In any business where you offer a product or service, it is well known that the customers like to feel important, as well as empowered and in control. People are spending their money and want the best for what they pay for. Therefore it is vital to create a close relationship with your potential customers, in order to turn them into long-term ones. Communication is the start of this important business-customer relationship.

Creating a blog provides your readers the opportunity to find information easily and ask questions at their convenience. Posting important information and facts on a regular bases puts customers in an empowered situation. They have the knowledge readily at hand, and being able to leave comments opens the communication portal.

Updated Information

The cost, time, and effort a business has to put into advertising and printing is almost irrelevant when it comes to blogs. Internet has become the quickest and easiest way to access nearly anything, from nearly anywhere. Blogs are a way to provide information about your new products or service right at your finger tips. For example, if you have updated a service or policy it can be posted on your blog.

Every day the world changes and people search for something better than they already have. Staying consistent in providing information in you blogs show your readers that you have the customers as your main priority. This continues to build their trust in you as a credible business.

Brand Awareness

There are many other companies that probably offer the same service or product as you do, so it is vital that you find various way to stand out in the crowd. Having a blog is way to show how your business is unique compared to your competitors. Adding blogs to your current promotional tactics will only increase that chance of your business being noticed and remembered.

Visibility

Search engines have become the main tool for research, which is a positive factor for business owners who maintain blogs. Your visibility will increase due to the fact that search engines are text-based. As you consistently update your content and maintain focus on the information provided, you open the door to more visibility. This is one of the main reasons blogs are increasingly becoming the bottom line factor in marketing.

Collective value

Blogs are more than an informal way to share one’s thoughts and ideas. Instead, they are a form of marketing that can help your business grow and expand. Maintaining a regular blog can create a chain of positive outcomes for a business. It begins with opening the door for communication with potential customers and allows the business to provide accurate and valuable information to the public. This will save your business time and money, and gain you respect from your customers. As your business continues to drive additional traffic from blogging, you are growing your brand awareness, and in the end increasing your visibility.

With consistent dedication and proper use of blogging, your business has the chance to rise above competition. Taking advantage of this new addition to social networking will pay for itself in the end.

My partner, David, and I were discussing design the other day. I know there are a plethora of books on design theory. There are also a multitude of design articles written, as well as a profusion of high-brow design discussions among the hallowed halls of the big boys. But, we still couldn’t actually define to our own satisfaction good design. It seems like there are so many styles, schools and theories, that who can say theirs is actually the best?

Our conversation led to a series of statements that seemed to ring true: design is passionate; design is elegant; and so on and so forth. We then relaxed into the game and whimsy set in: design became good for your health, sweet, powerful, whimsical (of course) and many other things, all of which invoked images in our mind.

The decision was then made to draw a series based on “Design Is”. David started with “Design is Good for Your Health”, which set the tone: sexy chicks! Since I specialize in pin-ups, the heat was on. My first contribution, as you see here, is “Design is Sweet”. Sugar pie honey bunch, man, that is Swe-e-e-e-e-et!

If you have any good ideas about what “design is”, you are welcome to share. By all means, suggest an image. In the meantime Beta Images hopes to surprise and thrill you with our next round of design pin ups.

I just want to say that Inception is one of the most amazing movies I have seen in a long time. Christopher Nolan does it again and the soundtrack, actors, and screenplay are all remarkable. After seeing that phenomenal movie, I was inspired to design this poster-esque wallpaper. Credits go to T&M Photography for the model photo.

We gave their brand a refresh to keep up with the times

A Advantage Safe and Lock is an excellent client of ours and after quite some time with an older design, they were looking to refresh their branding with a modern look and feel.

Developing the brand

Our goal was to completely revamp their brand and give it a creative, yet classy appearance. One thing that A Advantage Safe and Lock really wanted was to break away from the cliché look that most locksmith sites took, filling their landing page with a plethora of stock photos of related objects. They have the credibility and skill sets to back up their quality services so they wanted an “upper-class” ambiance to radiate from their website to better convey their high-quality and professional approach to business. We gave them just that.
