Business Blog Case Study: Stoneyfield Farms
Comedian Rick Bruner (OK, he's not really a comedian, but he plays one on his blog. :->) recently did an interview with Stoneyfield Farms' corporate blogger, Christine Halverson. It answers several questions you might be asking about small business blogging.Stoneyfield runs four separate blogs each targeting a particular demographic. The company, which makes yogurt, is a prime example of how blogs can be used as marketing communications tools.
Real World Business Blogging
In a recent post Tinbasher blogger Paul Woodhouse makes a real world case for using blogs in business...Blogging is the logical solution. By all means have your static website which lays claim to your products, services, testimonials and all the other usual stuff. A business blog allows you to expand on all of these aspects of your site and build a more complete picture.You can look at your blog in the same way as you’d look at a business meeting with a potential client. A blog can even help you focus your thought processes that whirl about your head on a daily basis.Business blogging is the new bricks and mortar for your web presence. You have the opportunity to re-identify yourself on the web and to make that vital connection with your customers in the same way as if they’d popped into your office for a brew.
Small Business Blog Case Study:

Small Business Blog Case Study:
Northfield ConstructionThis is the third case study I've done on small businesses that blog. This one features Northfield Constructon, based in Northfield, Minnesota.RMG: What advantages do you see in the use of a blog for your business?Ray: The big advantage and the main reason I went to a blog is because it is so easy to post things to the site. There are millions of very boring web pages that haven't had attention for years. I had a company webpage that I struggled to get updated every 3-4 months. Now I can easily post and add things about our work. The best thing about blogs is the quick, easy posting and the fact that they are written from a person....not an entity.If you visit the company website, you'll note that its home page is the blog. Or, conversely, the blog is the home page. This represents a growing trend which allows you to kill two birds with one stone. Not only do you incorporate your blog into the overall architecture of the site, you provide your readers with a constant stream of updated information without having to redirect them to another page or site. They get it all right there!
