Comment submitting and blogging are two excellent ways that retailers can interact with their customers but this has been ignored by many top stores.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.voucheralerts.co.uk/news/706/blogs-and-social-bookmarking-being-ignored-by-retailers/"><P>Not only has the power of blogging been largely ignored by the majority of retailers but social bookmarking capability was only found on 25% of the retailers sites.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.voucheralerts.co.uk/news/706/blogs-and-social-bookmarking-being-ignored-by-retailers/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.voucheralerts.co.uk/img/C614BDB7-167C-4073-A6AB-FDE14CA65A02" alt="Blogs and Social Bookmarking being ignored by Retailers " /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/48C2FB4D-2BF4-46E0-8624-B6F733305372/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
