Word of Mouth Marketing
Word of Mouth Marketing is so powerful because it’s impartial. It’s authentic. And it’s credible.
Quick question. Which would you trust more – a corporate website touting its great brands, or a first-hand accounting of that brand from a family member or friend? It’s a no brainer, right?
Word of Mouth Marketing happens both online and offline. It’s when you recommend a product or service to a friend over lunch, over the fence, or over the Internet.
An effective Word of Mouth campaign gives people a reason to talk about your brand, empowers them to share their story, offers a platform to share it on, and then harnesses the resulting conversations to build your brand.
