      This is a perfect example of why the big agency model doesn't work. This would take a small, smart and nimble group to execute. By the time this made it thru the account planner to production to PR in a big agency, it's days and days after the fact. Marketers take floating sticky note - get smaller, smarter and faster.

Why Mom Bloggers Aren't Flipping for Just a Sample of Your Product : GeekMommy's WebLife - 0 views

  • getting bloggers to agree on anything is like herding cats
  • There are reviews (where a blogger gives you her opinion on a product, company or service), there are announcements/informational posts (similar to press releases, usually just a heads up - but sometimes links to deals or sales) and there are contests/giveaways
