(Free-Press-Release.com) August 4, 2009 -- Los Angeles, CA – Blogs and Social Media have become the standard in the marketing toolbox for every savvy Internet marketer, but did you know that almost every fortune 500 company has a blog and/or some other type of social media campaign?

Where would we be without the Internet?

The rise in fortune 500 companies turning to blogging and social media is unprecedented, and as we would expect all of the big Internet properties such as Starbucks, Wal-Mart and Dell have blogs and some type of social media campaign. But now even the more traditional brands you might not expect such as Safeway and Marriott have Facebook pages. In fact, more than half of all retailers now have Facebook pages and/or some other type of blog or social media marketing campaign.

Why the rush to blogging and social media?

Simple, the economy is different today than it was even two years ago, no sane marketing person wants to be seen as wasting precious marketing dollars and every marketing person wants to be on the cutting edge of new and powerful marketing technologies. Fortune 500 companies have marketing budgets, they can’t just stop marketing because of adverse economic times, and every single business that plans to survive challenging economic times should take note. Now is not the time to retract your marketing efforts, believe it or not now is the time to expand your marketing efforts.
