American wedding band manufacturer uses a blogging platform to increase outreach to potential consumers.

Novell Design Studio, a leading American wedding band manufacturer that specializes in product customization, has recently launched a blog component to its main domain – www.novelldesignstudio.com. The new blog will highlight Novell’s appearances in the press, general company philosophy, education about the metals commonly available for wedding bands, authorized Novell retailers, and much more. Still in its infancy stage, Novell’s wedding band blog should be fully updated within a few weeks.

The Question is – Why a Wedding Band Blog?
“A blog is a great way to engage your potential customer in a different way other than with just a run-of-the-mill website or ordinary advertising,” reports Novell Marketing Director Rick Mulholland. “ I can use it to quickly highlight a recent news item, new wedding band and bridal jewelry products, or even one of our retailer’s upcoming events. Blogging is simply an efficient way to get the ‘word out,’ and I welcome visitors to make comments of any kind. Without initiating open conversation, we’re just another company that’s trying to preach our message. Novell’s wedding band blog component is also the very first step in a new approach to Internet marketing that will be unique to the jewelry industry. I am very excited about the future.”

Over on TheKnot.com’s bridal message boards, future brides have been chatting about new wedding songs and making suggestions. And one gives “Celebrate Early and Often” – a new wedding song for a new wedding generation – a ringing endorsement.

She writes (as of March 4, 2009):
“Hello Everyone! I heard this song and fell in love with it - “Celebrate Early and Often.” I thought it was cool that the artist wrote it for her own wedding! It kicks into the perfect feeling after about a minute into the song and I can picture myself dancing to it with my soon to be hubby. 7 months to go! …Michelle”
