The makers of POM Wonderful want you to use your heart, not your brain.
At least, thats the distinct impression we get from the companys recent battle with the US Federal Trade Commission. Last week, an administrative law judge for the FTC found that at least some of POMs ads made false and misleading claims about the health benefits of the trendy, branded pomegranate juice. And the company is fighting back with a series of ads that, by quoting the judge out of context, makes it look like he actually looked favourably upon their product.
The tagline for these ads: FTC v. POM: You be the judge.
So POM wants you to be the judge. On the surface, that sounds like they want you to think for yourself. And who could complain about that? But context matters.
Every blog owner finds himself or herself wondering how they can improve their site to engage visitors, build relationships, and of course grow revenues. The good news is that you are your best source of information! With print advertising, such as flyer printing or postcards, you have a limited number of options for gathering information, such as with demographics records or surveys. If you own a blog and visitors are showing up, however, you have access to a far greater number of resources to help you find out what your audience wants so you can provide more of it.
