A smart example of blogger engagement marketing strategies, low cost online PR that gets bloggers authentically engaged with the brand. 86 of Turkey’s top bloggers were sent a direct mail piece modelled on a bathroom cabinet. The brand variant was that the shave was so comfortable it would let guys minds wander, so they created a web page where people could write their thoughts. All that was needed was a single laptop prize, and the creative energy among the 86 had led – in just 10 weeks – to 1.3m unique visitors to the new website, and 44 active bloggers.

PR and marketing teams need to get close to their bloggers and understand the differences between this community and regular PR approaches to journalists.
