Word of Mouth (WOM) marketing is one of the most powerful forms of marketing. WOM consists of customer recommendations that influence sales. It is a trusted source of information. Opinion leaders, who are knowledgeable and sociable, informally influence product adoption through WOM. Various methods can measure opinion leadership, including asking people who they seek advice from. WOM is effectively used in social media and online communities. The diffusion of innovations theory explains how new products and ideas spread through communication over time within a social system. People have different rates of adoption, from innovators to laggards. Product characteristics like relative advantage and compatibility impact diffusion rates.

The document discusses word of mouth (WOM) marketing and how it has evolved with the rise of digital and social media. Friends and family are still the top influencers on consumer purchasing decisions. Electronic word of mouth (eWOM) has expanded WOM's reach beyond immediate social circles through online reviews, social networks, blogs and more. Marketers are increasingly focusing on eWOM and social media marketing but still face challenges in accurately measuring their impact. New "stakeholders" like activists and social media leaders also influence brands and should be engaged in dialogue by marketers. Building trust remains important for effective WOM and eWOM strategies.

The document discusses word-of-mouth marketing (WOMM) and how people trust recommendations from others over traditional advertising. It notes that 76% of Americans discuss at least one brand daily, with influencers talking about brands twice as often. The majority (71%) of word-of-mouth conversations still occur offline, though digital conversations are growing. The document provides tips on identifying influencers and engaging them to help stimulate 40% of brand conversations that refer to a brand's own marketing.

Values Created from Far and Near: Influence of Spatial Distance on Brand Eval...American Marketing Association | Journals
Spatial distance between products and consumers in advertisements and displays conveys different meanings that influence brand perception. Distance can signal prestige as something farther away seems less attainable, while proximity enhances feelings of social connectedness. The appropriate distance depends on the brand image, with luxury brands benefitting from distance and mass appeal brands benefitting from proximity. Marketers should consider spatial distance in ads, websites, store layouts and displays to match the intended brand perceptions of exclusivity versus accessibility.Service in the time of the Social Customer
The document discusses the rise of the "social customer" and how companies need to adapt their customer service models for this new environment. It notes that social networks and user-generated content have given customers more control over conversations and that they now trust peer recommendations over traditional advertising. The new customer service model needs to focus on engagement, multiple channels, and understanding how customers think and feel. Companies also need to transform their contact centers to focus more on customer experience through communities, social monitoring and strong self-service options.
Brandworks 2009: Social Media Profiles & Strategies
The document discusses strategies for companies to engage in online conversations and social media to transform their marketing approach. It recommends that companies 1) learn by monitoring online conversations to understand customer perspectives, 2) drive dialog through social media to identify and address customer needs, and 3) spread engagement by empowering customers to advocate for the brand. It also stresses the importance of measuring social media success based on relationship metrics rather than just sales, and embracing the loss of control that comes from online conversations.

Celebrity endrosement
The document discusses opinion leadership and celebrity endorsement in marketing. It defines opinion leadership as the informal influence one person has over others' attitudes or behaviors. There are four main methods to measure opinion leadership: self-designation, sociometric, key informant, and objective. Celebrity endorsement uses famous individuals to promote brands and can boost credibility but requires high costs. Factors like the celebrity's reputation and relevance to the brand must be considered for a successful campaign.
Opinion leaders & wom communication
Opinion leaders are individuals who are knowledgeable about products and whose advice is taken seriously by others. They prescreen, evaluate, and synthesize product information. While few are generalized opinion leaders for all purchases, some are monomorphic experts in a limited field or polymorphic experts in several fields. Opinion leaders informally influence the actions and attitudes of opinion receivers, who perceive them as credible sources that can reduce risk and search time. Marketers seek to stimulate word-of-mouth from opinion leaders to spread information about new products.

Cb lec 9 groups (1)
This lecture discusses how consumers are influenced by others and seek to conform to social groups. Reference groups that consumers aspire to or are members of can influence product choices. Opinion leaders who are experts, socially active, and similar to other consumers significantly impact purchase decisions through word-of-mouth recommendations. New social media is accelerating the spread of information and recommendations between consumers, with negative word-of-mouth carrying more weight than positive word-of-mouth. Marketers must understand how consumers are influenced by others in social networks and groups.

Getting People Talking
Word of mouth marketing is an attempt to harness the influence of certain consumers who are likely to share information about brands with their social networks. These influential consumers, about 10% of the population, are more likely to generate word of mouth that drives purchase decisions. As trust in traditional advertising has declined, marketers are looking to media that can help propagate word of mouth by targeting and engaging influential consumers who will then spread the word to others in their networks. Magazines in particular are seen as a trusted medium that can play a role in word of mouth marketing by targeting influential readers.

From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.

At Mozcon 2024 I shared this deck on bridging the divide between search and social.

We finished by going through how they can win together including UTM audits, harvesting comments from both to inform creative, and allowing for non-login forums to be part of your marketing strategy.
