An Example Of Good Word Of Mouth
Pretty much anyone on the web has heard of Gmail, Googles powerful email accounts. But did you know that very little money was spent in promoting it?
In fact, the single type of advertising used was that of word of mouth.
If you were lucky enough to get an account, you were given several other accounts to share with those that you wanted to share with. The key here was the fact that unless you were referred by someone, you couldnt just open a Gmail account.
Pure word of mouth advertising was used.
In turn, this created a buzz and if you didnt have a Gmail account, you wanted to have one.
Gmail became one of the most in demand accounts to have, with little to no advertising dollars spent on it.
The question is, how can you take this example of word of mouth to the extreme and use it in your own business?
Can you give away a service? A reward for referrals? Or even just provide superior service to your clients so in turn you can deliver to them enough to talk to create a buzz?
Word of mouth, such as Gmails example, is powerful and launches small or large businesses into a new world.
If you can use this example in your own business, chances are you can achieve the same success.
