Some people will use BLOG as commercial purpose such as selling clothes, food, home-made stuff and services, so that’s why the new idea Blog Shopping is coming out. Traditionally, a BLOG is a type of website maintained by an individual to write online dairies, information sharing, etc. Another advantage of BLOG is to help non-technical people to start the website easily with little bit word processing knowledge. If now we link BLOG with SHOP together, then it will become Blogshop. It means that we can use Blog to sell something online.

At the same time, I have done a quick research for the current trend of Blog Shop. Let’s have a look for Google Trend for Blogshop and Blog shop. It shows the report below:

Base on the analysis of Google Trend, Google began to detect the blog shop in later part of 2005. and Blog Shop trend is increasing yearly. Therefore, Blog Shopping will be another trend for online shopping.

The Reasons why Blog Shopping is becoming so popular today

Blog is low cost pre-sales channel online and easily to start any times. For example, if you have a home-made sauces (example: http://blogshop.my/nice-sauces/ ). If you would like to promote it online, you can just register any BLOG service providers (such as wordpress, blogspot) to start write your blog post and public the photo and some introduction of products with simple contact information, without spending money to ask for new development of website. The next step you can decide to submit your blogshop to any Business Directory online. For example blogshop.MY

BLOG is pre-sales channel, and then we need to get some traffic online. Mostly people will use the Free Social Media Marketing Tools (such as Facebook, Twitter, Friendster) to start building the relationship online and making new friends. Building the trust through Social Media Marketing tool and also write a valuable BLOG will attract more people to visit your blog shop and shopping at your blog. Therefore it will build long term relationship with people and customer loyalty in the future.

In Malaysia, we have found that there is only small group of people is paying credit card and purchase online. These groups of online shoppers are most familiar with online shopping cart operation. How about for the non-online shoppers? So Blog Shopping can be another option for non-online shoppers. For example, blogshop owner just need to write a blog post with the product’s images, description, price, payment method, delivery terms etc. If a non-online shopper would like to purchase products from you. he/she will follow the contact information to email you or call you for any enquiry of delivery, pricing, product detail information. Without any advance technical knowledge, you can own your shop online very easily and simple. So WHY NOT to own your blogshop now ?
