Consider Tumblr for Your Brand

Hello, I’m Jim Glover, That Branding Guy, for Once a Day Marketing™. Today we are looking at social media marketing with a discussion of Tumblr and whether or not it is a good fit for your marketing campaigns.

Tumblris a blog platform for self-expression and celebrating creativity where users post video, audio and text content. Like Pinterest and Twitter, users may follow blogs using hashtags. There are numerous brands on Tumble today including GE, Reebok, Acura and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

A business leveraging Tumblr might create posts around their latest product information, or another topic their customers would be interested in, comprised of text, video, music, graphics or photographs.

Tumblr users follow individuals or businesses that align with their interests and receive posts on their dashboard (home page) from those they are following. Tumblr users are able to re-blog, comment on or Like the posts of others. Material posted in Tumblr is on a wide range of subjects and you are apt to see strong opinions and the occasional four letter word more frequently than other channels. According to Digital Marketing Ramblings, Tumblr has 200 million monthly site visits worldwide and 69 million domestically.
