Create word of mouth
More and more businesses roll the dice on viral
marketing as the centerpiece to their outreach and
education efforts. If they’re lucky, their content is
widely shared and then forgotten.
But by actively forming personalized business
relationships, you can strengthen emotional bonds
and convert customers into brand advocates.
Word of mouth marketing is the leading influence on
purchase behaviors and is crucial to your marketing
mix. A 2013 study by Forrester Research says 70% of
people trust recommendations from friends, while
only 10% trust advertising on websites.
