Blogging helps you transform your products and company name into a renowned brand by sharing authoritative, well researched, interactive, engaging and educational content. Most of the retailers, who are not concerned with quality, do not bother to educate their customers in wake of losing them. You can leave them behind by promoting quality traits of different products more openly on your blog.

For creating a blog in PrestaShop, you can use free tools with limited functionality which may allow you to start publishing articles for now, but may fail to meet your needs as your progresses in blogging. For peace of mind right from the first day till an authority blog, we recommend the installation of Advance PrestaShop blog module. Follow the tutorial for a quick review of creating a blog with the help of this module.
