To me, it just means that a lot of corporate types will continue to stay out of the blogging realm, which I know from experience to be a very useful arena for marketing purposes. I really have to doubt the 2.6% figure, too. While I doubt that a lot of users specifically seek out blogs to research products, a lot of top blogs rank very well in the search engines and if you get coverage from a top blog, they can help ensure that your URL/site is promoted more than once in the top 10 SERPs.

If a blog comes up in a regular search, then they might not think to themselves "Hmm, I'm conducting research on a blog." Additionally, social media strategies need to be customized by the company - even within niches. What works for one won't work for another.

Right and I wonder how many oo those retailers have blogs? I am willing to bet a majority fo them dont and if they do they are not adequetly placed to promote them throughout the website. And if they did have them and promote them, they probably dont have the info that the customers/visitors are looking for. “only 2.6% of online shoppers use blogs for research before making purchases.”
