Blog users spend more money online  
Since the early days almost a decade ago, Blogs have changed considerably, and they have become a common feature in the marketing strategy of many organisations in New Zealand and overseas.

It's easy to understand why businesses have adopted this communication form as a marketing ploy, one of the reasons is definitely the user profile.

A Comscore report revealed that blog readers viewed 77% more pages than the average Internet user and spend more time and more money online. The same research showed that blog readers tend to belong to high income households and be more Internet savvy. Blog readers spend on average 6% more than the average internet user on online shopping. Finally widespread use of broadband internet connection completes the profile of typical blog readers.

Based on this type of information it's not a surprise that successful companies in different industries have chosen to develop their own Blogs to keep in contact with their customers. More information ...
