Thank You Design Blogs!

Ashes & Milk in the Press

It goes without saying that blogs are an amazing method to network, promote ourselves and spread the word about fellow businesses we identify with.

On a macroeconomic plane, blogs reach out to a global market allowing small businesses to sustain a viable living through the internet as demonstrated in the DIY movement, etsy.com and the rise in e-commerce only boutiques.

At the same time, on a micro-cosmic level, the way things are bought and sold has become more personal. Through blogs an enormous amount of content and substance suddenly arises out of a simple transaction. From buying a handmade porcelain cup to a one of kind lithograph print, the information posted in blogs about the artists who design and create the things we buy bring a new level of connection between us.

And I thought you were my little secret!

Just think how different life would be if we lived back in the olden days (5 years ago) when we had to put an ad in the local paper to get the word out about our shop, business, etc….

Blogs are a wonderful things. Complete niche marketing with an opinion attached. And then, lots of other opinions under the comments. It’s almost as much fun as designing.
