Tokyo – April 16, 2007 – GMO Hosting & Security Group company, @YMC Corporation began offering the Bizlog blog construction tool for businesses on April 2 this year. Beginning today we are celebrating the launch of the service by offering 10,000 yen cash back on server set-up costs.

Blogging in the business world is thriving and nowadays not only are there CEO blogs and PR blogs but a huge variety of company blogs are now appearing on the web including user participation-type blogs that incorporate comments and trackback and branding type blogs such as those that follow the process of creating a particular product.
Blogging can have a major impact on corporate image and customer confidence so a stable environment, original design and a blog tool with business functions are essential. This is why @YMC has introduced Bizlog, the blog construction tool for businesses that includes a wide range of design templates for presenting a positive public image, a high quality server for a stable environment and the optimum business blog functions.
Bizlog gives small and medium businesses an easy-to-use blog management tool that lets users upload postings and update information without the need for any specialist knowledge. Through blogging users widen exposure of their company and products to potential customers. Companies can create a business blog that presents a positive public image by selecting from the many design templates available. The blog can be hosted at an existing domain name and postings and photographs can be uploaded via cell phone so small businesses, stores, restaurants and other businesses can conduct the blog marketing that best meets their type of operation and business objectives.
