Gaining feedback from customers for products is a good way to gain ideas about your products. The purpose of public relations is to get other people talking about your product or idea. By gaining feedback from customers, a company will really build a relationship with customers, one where customers believe they have helped to build a company’s products. News is of interest to customers, but give customers the chance to recommend what is important to them, you will get good feedback on what is important to your audience, and in today’s blogging world, good online PR within your customer blogging community.
