Reciprocity: The key to evergreen
• Don’t think that just because a blog review is online, the collaboration ends there.
• Marketing team should continue to engage bloggers: reshare, +1, like, comment, RT, pin, rinse, repeat.
• If you invest the time in social media, social media will work harder for you.
• Often times simply reaching out to bloggers or influencers will result in higher engagement.

Time to go beyond the blog!
