Tumblr is a widely used and user-friendly blogging platform that has proven to be a useful tool for various purposes. According to users, it is an effective platform for sharing updates, articles, and visual content with a wide audience. Retail businesses have found Tumblr to be particularly beneficial for showcasing new merchandise and attracting younger customers. By leveraging different effects on Tumblr, businesses can enhance the presentation of their products in a more appealing way. To ensure initial photographs are visually compelling, having someone with a photography or design background can be helpful. Regardless of the business size, creating a Tumblr account can open up an avenue to bring in new clientele.

For businesses using Tumblr, it's crucial to strike a balance with photo effects in order to present an accurate and flattering portrayal of merchandise. Making existing customers aware of the business's Tumblr account encourages them to follow and share it, potentially bringing in new business. Beyond businesses, Tumblr serves as a useful tool for groups aiming to align everyone on a common ground regarding current issues. The support of blogs and samples/examples of various product categories on Tumblr is especially beneficial for individuals who think visually. Furthermore, Tumblr is commonly used by content marketing teams, online personalities, PR agencies, and communication companies to easily share short-form and visual content with their respective target audiences. Overall, Tumblr's simplicity, creative atmosphere, and flexibility make it an attractive choice for individuals and organizations looking to engage with others through visual expression and storytelling.

Based on user reviews, here are the key recommendations for using Tumblr:

  1. Give Tumblr a try as it is worth exploring for basic image posting needs and as a simple place to post photos or journal entries. It offers an easy way to quickly get started and is cost-effective, especially for personal and small business use.

  2. Be mindful of the potentially weird content on Tumblr. While it offers diverse content, not everything may be to everyone's liking or appropriate. It is important to keep an open mind and be aware of this aspect before using the platform.

  3. Start an account on Tumblr to build a presence and spread the word about its features and uses. Users recommend having a general idea of what you want to do with Tumblr and finding easy-to-choose layouts and designs. However, if additional functionality like email sign-ups for coupons is required, considering alternative platforms such as WordPress might be necessary.

Overall, users appreciate Tumblr for its simplicity in meeting basic image posting needs but also acknowledge its limitations in terms of functionality and suitability for enterprise use.

  • Since Tumblr is a free tool to use, the impact it's had on our business objectives has only been positive. We do use Tumblr as a way to hopefully build credibility for our company (within the ad world), in addition to building agency/brand love among future potential employees.
