What Women Bloggers Want from Brands

May 5, 2011 By Wendy Scherer Leave a Comment

We were pleased to work with BlogFrog to survey 2000 women & mom bloggers to learn about their work with brands.

Key Findings Include:
➢ Compensation matters. 90% are interested in working with brands, so long as there is some form of compensation.
➢ Social good matters. Campaigns that include an element of social good increase trust levels for 56% of bloggers surveyed.
➢ 70% of bloggers trust a brand more when that brand is promoted or recommended by someone they know from a blog or social media.
➢ Almost all women bloggers have positive opinions on brand sponsored social media and blog campaigns.
➢ Almost 60%of women bloggers indicate they want long-term, deeper relationships with a few special brands.
➢ Of the brand pitches bloggers receive, most are rejected by the majority of bloggers.
➢ As consumers, women bloggers are highly influenced by other blogs. 93% have purchased a product based on brand information found on a blog or online community.
➢ Bloggers who spend six or more hours a week engaging with other blog communities show a correlated increase in revenue.
➢ Brands like Purex, Disney, Kraft, Silhouette, Proctor & Gamble, and CSN were given high marks for their blogger relations.

About Wendy Scherer

Wendy knew from her years as a partner with Bozell Worldwide that there was a great need for knowledge synthesis and business research that was more than a mere information dump. To address the market need for finding and digesting complex business research, she founded Scherer Cybrarian in 1995. The business grew and expanded over the years to include primary research, GIS, news aggregation and monitoring, and much more. But what she loved the most was the emerging world of social media research. (Don’t laugh. Everyone should love their work as much as Wendy does!) As this segment grew, it became apparent that this specialty could stand on its own to grow and change with the times. And so, The Social Studies Group was born in 2009.
