Applications for Blogs

How can businesses use this? Give three examples.

Businesses can use blogs to reach their customers about any important information. They can use a blog to show development over a span of time; like a remodel within the business. If the business is changing or remodeling, they can use a blog to show the progress over time. They can post pictures, videos, and they can write information about what is happening in the business.

Blogs can also be used to show off products. Businesses can post products and information about the product to reach their customers in a larger audience.

Blogs can be used to share day-to-day events that happen within a business. Businesses can use blogs to share what events are happening in their company and invite viewers to check it out! They can even offer special offers for those who mention their blog, in order to get publicity for the blog.

Why would they want to use it?

Businesses may want to use blogs because they can reach a lot of customers for free! Many blog websites, like blogger, are completely free to use. In some cases, blogs are better than publishing an article in the paper because there is not cost involved. It is also possible to reach a larger audience using a blog. Since blogs are on the internet, potentially anyone with a computer could see the blog, whereas those only local people can see a newspaper article.
