Great post, Bloke! One item that stood out to me was not letting just anyone blog for your company. I absolutely agree - but your audience shouldn't think that this means to leave to the CEO or Marketing staff. Sometimes you'll find people within your organization that you would never expect will be your best writers - knowledgeable (sometimes first hand), entertaining, funny, and personable.
I couldn't agree more. I've said it time and time again...just about any business could and should have a blog, especially if they already have a website, the blog will be an amazing traffic driver.
I think that a business having a blog is an easy way to communicate and have a conversation with your customers without requiring a huge outlay of capital or technical skills to make it happen.
Also, with the number of desktop blogging application now on the market, you could have a staff member post to the blog for you with little technical knowledge required.

Best in class content related to business blogging and web 2.0 way of interacting with the customers.
Few more points to add, Blogging way of reaching customers crossed the geographical distance limitation carried by the traditional marketing strategy. Today our official hexahost blog http://hexahost.com/blogs/ not just carries about us, about the whole sphere of web hosting. To deal with transparency your blog contents are not notifiers. I personaly felt it in my business one of our custoemr during the signup wrote a mail to us saying that "he is ready to risk few dollars in new hosting company not just for the service, specially for the understanding we have in the business we do". Our official blog helped us to say more than adds. Blogging is a way to go for web sttartups.

What you say is completely true because while the business may be the moneymaker, the blog builds the personal relationships which can bring more sales and customers

What a great post!
The culture of consumerism is changing - people now want to buy from brands they have a personal relationship with. I think blogging provides the perfect platform from which to establish this relationship.
Thanks,

Great post Bloke! I like your comment on not letting anyone blog-- on the flip side make sure that the person responsible for blogging continues to publish. I see so many blogs that start of great and then they stop posting content.
