When the crickets are chirping

I have not been blogging here nearly as often as I wanted to, and had every intention of doing. There are many reasons for this. Most recently, it’s because all my blogging energy is going into HTCIA International Conference promotion. I’m posting almost every day about labs, sponsors, lectures and award-winners. It’s a lot of fun and more importantly, getting results — I’m told the number of non-member registrations is up.

But that isn’t the only reason I’m not regularly blogging here. In fact, if it were, I’d still be finding time to blog.

The real reason is indeed a lack of time — lack of time to think long enough to set down something I think will be of value to readers. I’ve got four posts brewing about Twitter, customer service, and not working for free (a problem I understand forensics examiners as well as PR consultants have in common). There’s also a post in here about what not blogging means.

But I don’t want to only blog about the problems I’m having which readers can relate to. More directly, I want to blog about the problems you ARE having with PR and marketing.

In the next few weeks, I’ll be posting a short market research survey. Meanwhile, though, I’d like to find out more about what you want to see on this blog. What challenges are you having marketing yourself as an investigator, or your firm? What challenges are you having with customers? With prospects? What do you need help with?

Leave me your answer in comments, or if you’d prefer to email, please feel free to do that too. I’m looking forward to hearing from you — and blogging for you!
