How Blogs are Changing the Way Businesses Talk with Customers
Today's consumer craves human contact. We're sick to death of voicemail. Menus of options that never offer the option we need. A deluge of carefully spun «information» designed not to answer our concerns, but to influence our decisions. Mechanical voices telling us our call is important to them even as they refuse to answer it.
We're frustrated in our attempts to reach a live human being, and when we finally do, all too often it's someone who barely speaks our language and only reads from a script.
Is it so surprising that the consumer distrusts the corporation?
Into this charged atmosphere comes a phenomenon called blogging. It's interactive. It's informal. It's peppered with misspellings, grammatical errors and an occasional forbidden word.
It comes from a real person. And it allows the consumer to talk back.
