        <Name>Online Reputation Monitoring Survey  for BtoB marketers</Name>
        <Summary>Some interesting data about brand monitoring offine and online</Summary>
        <Description>
&lt;P&gt;A recent survey conducted by &lt;A title="buzz marktring for technology" 
href="http://buzzmarketingfortech.blogspot.com/" target=_blank&gt;Buzz 
Marketing,&lt;/A&gt; and sponsored by Marketing Profs and&amp;nbsp;Trackur, shows that 
more than half of the BtoB marketers polled aren't adequately prepared for an 
online crisis.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Although the sample universe was small, it is an indication of what BtoB 
marketers are thinking and doing.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;60% say they have a good understanding of their&amp;nbsp; current reputation 
&lt;LI&gt;63% don't have a blogging policy in place 
&lt;LI&gt;53% place strategic importance on measuring and monitoring their reputation 
in 2008 
&lt;LI&gt;Only 42% have a strategic plan in place to manage their online reputation 
&lt;LI&gt;More than half (54%) are not&amp;nbsp;monitoring tradiitional media using 
services like Burrells/Luce or Bacons 
&lt;LI&gt;63% are monitoring social media and blogs with free online services 
&lt;LI&gt;Only 33% use a paid subscription service to monitor&amp;nbsp;online content 
&lt;LI&gt;54% say they are leveraging social networks ike Facebook and LInkedIn 
&lt;LI&gt;45% are monitoring their brand on these social&amp;nbsp; networks 
&lt;LI&gt;71% say they are not developing widgets that can be added to social 
sites&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face="Trebuchet MS"&gt;Recommendations from the survey:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Make &lt;A href="http://expansionplus.com/impr/blogosphere.html"&gt;measuring and 
monitoring your online reputation&lt;/A&gt; a strategic priority.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;People are online and they are talking about brands - and it's not 
only&amp;nbsp;consumer brands.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Many other&amp;nbsp;studies have shown that BtoB buyers are just as likely to 
research online before purchase and they are sharing intelligence and 
information in niche social networks.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Dont get caught with your pants down.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</Description>
