People like to read daily blogs as part of their online reading. But do they realize they can comment? Did you know you can be a part of the discussion?
Most blogs are written in first person. You can use “I”. It is the writer’s opinion. This lends itself well for starting a discussion. Think of it as a hybrid “letter to the editor”. I believe you do a disservice to your readers when you don’t allow feedback. Many bloggers don’t post feedback.
People like to read what other people have to say on an issue. Bob Lefsetz makes a great effort to post feedback from his readers. Sometimes this feedback is more popular then his original post on the topic. Depending on how controversial the topic is will dictate the amount of feedback.
Feedback is really the most important element of blogging. Think of blogs as online discussions. Allow feedback and you can take the pulse of an industry.
With feedback in mind I pose two questions today:
- Do you think the merger of Live Nation/Ticketmaster will happen and why or why not?
- How do you think H1N1 will affect ticket sales in the upcoming months?
Send me back your answers and I will post them on Friday.
People in the biz reminder
Don’t forget that I will also post updates on what people in our industry are up to this Friday. Please email me your updates. As I mentioned last week, I will post these updates every Friday. This is a great chance for your fellow event & entertainment marketers to hear what you are doing or your business is doing. We can all learn from this.
