Hi, Could you please advise on best resources I can refer to for developing word of mouth marketing? Thanks!
-
Hi Ariba: You have to be a bit more specific here. What is your product or service and what do you mean by word of mouth marketing? People actually referring other people to you, viral postings online, or what? It used to be that “word of mouth” meant people telling other people about a local business. Today that could also mean online…Read more
