End of Year Blogging: To Blog or Not To Blog

by DJ Waldow on December 23, 2008 · 2 comments

The Bronto Blog is traditionally a forum to discuss email marketing best practices. However, as we near the end of 2008, I thought it may be the appropriate time to mix things up a bit. So, yesterday morning, I asked a simple question on Twitter:

Twitter Question: Value of blog posts from now until new year. Is it worth doing any corporate blogging in next 2 weeks? Will anyone read?

As you can see from a non-statistically significant, fairly biased sampling of the Twitter replies, there was no clear answer.

So, instead of blogging about 2009 tips and predictions or Email Trends in 2009, I decided a nice way to close out 2008 would be to show off some Bronto pictures from the past few years (click on image). Enjoy…

In my experience, between (now) and January 2nd, traffic on the Web drops significantly. Personally, I would hold any major editorials from publishing between then and now. Although, it’s not a bad idea to line it up and queue it for early January. People love reflecting on the previous year in early January.

A few other ideas to blog about around the holidays would be the support schedule for customers, any words from execs, holiday team wishes, new years commitments. Then again, team/company photos probably work best.

I love the Bronto blog. Keep it up, DJ Waldo. Happy holidays to you and your team and have a safe and exciting 2009!

@Joe: Thanks for your kind words about the Bronto Blog (we love it too!). Also, I appreciate your thoughts on what to blog about around the holidays. I kinda opted for the easy way out…

Back in 2009!
