5 Ways to Utilize Word of Mouth as Your Marketing Tool
A recent article, 5 Steps You Must Take to Build Your Business by Word of Mouth by Brian O’Connor, explains that the easiest and most practical way to generate new leads is through referrals. Customers can be your advocates–their satisfaction with your products or services can become trumpets sounding for your brand.
Here are five things you may consider to help you create brand advocates for your business.
- Connect with the community
People are motivated to transact with businesses that care about their community and neighborhood.
- Share good news
Broadcasting how your product or service has helped others in similar circumstances will create social proof to potential customers, and will increase the probability that they will refer you to others.
- Contact your past clients
Get in touch with your clients by sending them a monthly newsletter, a holiday card, or calling them once a year to check in. Make sure your contact number is easily accessible and find out the best ways to communicate with your different clients-phone calls, text, social media, mail.
- Consult an expert
If you want to try a new approach to increase word of mouth referrals, but don’t know where to start, you may consider hiring an expert to help you.
- Get customer feedback
Customer feedback is important to the success of any business, whether it be for product improvement or referrals. Feedback from customers helps to improve your product or service and provides a great opportunity to ask for referrals.
