			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Was looking into the old Freemium model this morning used by the WSJ and  seemed like quite an interesting model for retailers and fashion brands.  Succinctly the model offers ’social media mavens’ free content that they can  blog about or socially tag, maintaining a decent SEO strategy alongside a paid  for subscription model &#8211; a partnership that is not always thought of as  compatible.</p>
<p>As more and more fashion and luxury brands are creating sites that are not  just e-commerce focused and actually offer valuable and educational content, it  would be possible to identify a brands social media brand advocate (social media  maven) and offer a reward based scheme for covering content from within the  brands site, on their blog or by social media tagging. This doesn’t necessarily  have to be redeemable points in store but maybes access to exclusive events or  one off pieces, to really entrench the blogger in the brand.</p>
