on the shift in the receiver’s purchase probability
Positive WOM is 14% more influential than negative WOM
25. THE IMPACT OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE
WOM ON BRAND PURCHASE-PROBABILITY
• The greater the sender ‘strength of expression’, the greater the impact
• The more intense the receiver’s active search (‘high involvement’), the
greater the impact
•
The greater the loyalty with the brand, the weaker the impact
26. KEY DRIVERS FOR WORD OF MOUTH
•
Senders are perceived as knowledgeable
• The ties between sender and receiver are stronger
(not significant for negative WOM)
•
The receiver experience is low and perceived risk is high

• Is the decline in consumer use of mass media, taking away the social value
brands have created in the past?
