Why advertising on a blog is a wise thing to do:

Blogs provide advertisers an excellent opportunity to reach a devoted, niche audience.

Advertisers are starting to appreciate the influencer constituency on blogs, where the distinct advertising value of these audiences “isn’t their eyeballs, it’s their mouths.”

One thing’s clear: No company, organization, or association or media buyer can afford to ignore blogs any longer. Early adopters have taken the lead, and blogs finally entering corporate consciousness. What are you waiting for?

What marketers have said about advertising on Cherryflava:

The beauty of blog marketing is the ability to get involved in a
conversation at ground level. We saw many strategic opportunities in
aligning our campaign, and more importantly, our brand with
cherryflava.com.

Campaign figures were very pleasing and then there's the conversation
that continues still today.

To sum it up, we'll do it again.

With the accelerating popularity of blog sites around the world and specifically in South Africa, we felt it a natural step in the evolution of our marketing activities to engage with the target customer within this environment and on a more personal level.

The response received from those that were exposed to the communication and, more importantly, the reviews of the site itself and the synergy between Jetstreaker and 7 For All Mankind was phenomenal.

We are excited to further develop our affiliation with cherryflava.com and jetstreaker.com, with the outcome of the 7 For All Mankind campaign showing testament of the success that the future holds for these remarkable online destinations.

The web, and blogs in particular, are an effective, accessible and essential part of the marketing mix. Marketers need to take advantage of what blog media has to offer as it has the unique ability to boost brand interaction and conversation. We chose to launch a competition on behalf of our client Big Blue exclusively through Cherryflava.com – this lent an informal, credible edge which traditional media wouldn’t have achieved. This was a targeted, scientific decision that confirmed that web marketing works.
