Are you looking to increase your blog traffic and interaction? There are many things that you can do to increase your blogs traffic, here are some simple ways to do this. Start by hosting Giveaways featured on your blog's website. This can be done by partnering with a company to provide the merchandise to you, or you can supply the product yourself. 

My recent Vista print purchase had scored me $30 in Vista Print cash this week. The notification came by email the following day of my order, and had this ad attached.

I know many companies offer similar promotions for free store credit as well. Join their mailing lists! If you can catch a deal like this for customizing products make sure you take the opportunity to stock up on some branding gear such as pens, cards, mouse pads, coffee mugs, and even clothing!

I was able to score some AMAZING deals on my shopping haul, the total order shipped to my home cost $8 in product, $4.99 in shipping= $12.99 Which is a savings of $39.50 ( that's for 53 items)!

• Stock up when you get the opportunity to use in store credit, with this past deal you could even pair promotional codes to the already reduced discount. This is also the time you want to think about purchasing those costly marketing utensils such as banners, you can also afford at this time to experiment with fancy card stock on your business cards. Hosting a giveaway just turned simple!  
  
  

• Networking, this can be very beneficial to any company. Take some time to focus on local traffic to your blog. Are there any events taking place near you? In Louisville Kentucky we celebrate the Kentucky Derby, the derby is also tied to many local events such as Thunder of Louisville,  and The Great Steamboat Race. These are the types of events you will want to have extra business cards with you, give them out to the local shop owners. Ask questions, do they advertise on social media platforms? If so, ask them if they would be interested in partnering together for a giveaway or product review feature on your blog.

Remember to save your coupons, you can apply them toward marketing your blog at affordable costs, and utilize networking while you attend community events. See a local store with amazing items such as clothing and makeup? Give them a shout out with your favorite items. Make sure to include in your blog post the address, so the post will be found under the stores search terms on the internet.
These are 2 very simple, yet active ways to increase blog traffic and interaction on your blogs website. Make sure you never pay full price again on marketing resources. Watch your inbox for deals.
