	Rick Calvert will share his insights on using blogs to engage your customer base.

Blogs (shorthand for “weblogs”) have revolutionized commerce. They allow companies to directly address current customers while developing new business, explaining product benefits and answering customer questions. Blogs are cost-effective, generate “buzz” about your business, build brand loyalty and position the blogger as an expert in the field.
