Marketing to Women Starts With Great Relationships

Friday, August 17th, 2012

Mom’s Select Swag Suite held during BlogHer is one of the biggest and most exciting blogger events that we look forward to attending each year because it affords us an opportunity to meet with many of the bloggers we deal with on a regular basis face to face. Let’s face it – email is great for connecting with people, but it’s not the same as putting a face to the name and personally connecting. Personal connections are the key to the Blogger Outreach program at RL&A – our extensive database of bloggers in all different categories – from moms with children to sports, travel, beauty, lifestyle – even disease/condition specific bloggers (migraines, IBS, etc.) – are bloggers we connect with on a regular basis. Those relationships are what make us successful, and what make the results meaningful to our clients.

At this summer’s Mom’s Select Swag, the RL&A team attending included Laura Giardina, our Director of Blogger and Media Relations. This interview – by a blogger of Laura on behalf of our scünci client – is a great example of how marketing to women starts with great relationships.

Are You On YouTube?

Public Relations: keyword, relations. We’re here to help you build relationships with your consumers. As is the case in most industries, there is now less face-to-face communication and more online / virtual exchange between consumers and brands. So how do we, as PR and social media marketing professionals, help our clients remain relevant while maintaining a personal consumer relationship? One Answer: YouTube.

There are 4 billion daily views on YouTube; 60 hours of footage uploaded every minute; 800 unique users a year and 200+ million views occur on mobile devices each day. Sharing compelling, creative videos on YouTube allows you to get personal and create a community with your consumers, especially when they’re on the go (it’s my go-to distraction while waiting in line at Starbucks). They get to “see your face” and “hear your voice,” instead of hiding behind a static website …and the best part…YouTube now offers a video response where your consumers can respond to your video with a video of their own…cool right?! Talk about forming a relationship. Check out videos that we’ve produced for clients on our YouTube channel.
