Bloggers On Top: What The Media Says About Them

Here are some interesting quotes from media and marketing experts about how Bloggers are affecting and inspiring the world of business and media:

“Bloggers Mean Business-They’re not the future of fashion magazines—they’re the future of fashion branding.”

-Erin Griffith, AdWeek Contributor

 

“The Fashion Blogs Are Beating Vogue at Online Influence”

-Business Insider: The Wire Contributors

 

“Mom bloggers are a force to be reckoned with…mom bloggers you’ve got clout.”

-Lisa Belkin, The Huffington Post Senior Columnist on Life/Work/Family

 

“The advent of blogging has dramatically changed the face of the fashion industry — and fashion media in particular — in just a few years. Fashion bloggers have evolved from stigmatized outsiders to lauded insiders, sending scores of seasoned marketing executives and editors’ heads spinning. Today, bloggers are not only creating editorial to rival that of the glossies, they’re leveraging myriad talents in shooting lookbooks, styling them, and, in some cases, starring in them. In addition, they’re hosting events, dressing the windows of some of 5th Avenue’s finest storefronts — after catching a fashion show from the front row, of course — and moving product on behalf of retailers.”

-Alisa Gould-Simon, Director of Marketing & Communications at Pose.com

 

“Trends in blog reading are expected to maintain an upward course as blogs continue to gain influence in the mainstream media.”

- Paul Verna, eMarketer Senior Analyst

 

“More than half of web users will read blogs this year. By 2014, readership will rise to more than 150 million Americans, or 60% of the internet population in the US.”

-Kevin O’Keefe, CEO of LexBlog, Inc.

 

“Pew Research was one of the first mainstream think tanks to study bloggers as a whole, in 2005, and Pew found that people who blog are generally higher earners. Jobvite shows that people who use social media to find a job end up finding jobs that are a better fit. And LinkedIn is so convinced that bloggers do better in their careers than nonbloggers that it has added features to enable people to simulate blogging right on its site.”

-Penelope Trunk, Special to CNN

 

“If you are running a business website without a blog, you are missing out on some big opportunities to engage your prospects and increase website traffic…In today’s social media-driven world where engagement with your customers is expected online, blogs are essential to marketing your business…Blogging should also be at the heart of your social media strategy.”

-Stepanie Chandler, Subscriber to Forbes

 

“No longer is blogging considered a part-time hobby done by snarky college students or aspiring fashion insiders. Blogging now is filled with popular niche players, such as Kissi, who are highly sought-after and have successfully crossed over from the realm of marginalized, acid-tongued commentators to being embraced by the mainstream.”

-Neil Weilheimer, WWD Executive Editor

 

“Women are making gains on men when it comes to blogging. It’s something many women say offers them balance between family and career.”

-Giselle Phelps, CW33 News Reporter

 

 

Quite inspirational to all of the chicks that blog!

Let’s Feel Pretty Today!

 

“I feel Pretty! Oh so Pretty!”

Lol!! My sister and I used to sing that famous song from West Side Story over and over again when we were growing up! And now for some reason it’s stuck in my head today!

I want to feel pretty today.

Actually … I have absolutely no where to go today … other than picking kids up from school this afternoon. But … I still want to feel pretty.

I think I’m going to go play with my lipstick. I have a whole ton of lipsticks … that I NEVER wear!! Today … I want to go try on some new shades. I’m going to spend a few minutes and … just like my girls love to do … I’m going to play with my make-up.

Do you like to wear make-up? I don’t wear it all the time. I put a little on when I go out … but I pretty much stick with the same few shades of eye shadow and lipstick. I don’t get too adventurous. But today, I’m going to go make pretty.

Feel pretty with me! Spend a few minutes and do something different with your make-up. Even if you don’t have anywhere to go. Let’s feel pretty … oh so pretty!
