Alison Prelusky
What do classical music, industrial shop desks, and mobile phone carriers have in common? They're all stepping stones in Alison's career path. She graduated college with a BA in Music from SUNY Fredonia, but went a different way in graduate school by obtaining an MA in English from SUNY Stony Brook. This led her to begin a career in copywriting, and after years of ping-ponging between a musical instrument company, an industrial supply corporation and an MVNO startup, she has happily settled in the appliance world as a copywriter for P.C. Richard & Son. Although she can always be counted on to tighten up paragraphs and correct grammar, blog articles are definitely her favorite type of task.
When not at work, Alison enjoys movies, reading, competitive quizzing, and spending too much money at record stores.

In your opinion, what's the most important element for a blog article?
The first building block is a decent set of SEO search terms. Once that's settled, the article has to include valuable information that's also interesting. There are so many factors that go into shopping for the kind of products we sell- especially appliances, which usually come with a commitment of a decade or more- so we want to have plenty of information available to anyone who needs it. Even if a reader doesn't shop with us in that particular instance, they'll remember who gave them the info they needed!
