Given popularity of blogs in the past few years, online companies find it profitable to focus on creating blogs to boost their business. There are many types of corporate blogs but most of them fall under two categories, internal and external, with both having their respective aims, objectives and benefits.
An internal blog is generally used for internal communication with employees. It can serve as an alternative to meetings and e-mail discussions. It can foster corporate culture among employees and can prove useful for large organizations having offices and employees in different locations. The informal nature of blogs encourages free discussion of issues, employee participation, collective intelligence, direct and easy flow of communication, and a sense of belonging.
An external blog is a publicly available weblog where a company can share its views. It can serve as an alternative to traditional press release. It is useful for marketing, branding and building public relations. It gives an insight into the company culture and is often helpful for announcing new products and services, declaring policies or reacting to public criticism.
Corporate blogs can provide many benefits: creating corporate image, increasing transparency and credibility, building links to the corporate site, free of cost advertising, brand building, enhanced communication with employees and target market, generating instant response, etc.
If used correctly, corporate blogs can be an important part of a strong online presence. If you feel that you or your employees can contribute thoughtful material on blogs, then it can provide a great way to communicate with the outside world and present a more “personal” side of the company or business. In terms of search engine presence, a blog can be a great way to present new and current information and help you expand your online business profile.
