We’re in the Age of WOM
• WOM has always been the world’s most effective form of marketing
• Left behind for mass reach• Social media has sparked a resurgence of
interest in WOM

The New Math
• Old: Message 5,000,000 to possibly reach 500• New: Personally reach 500 who influence 5,000 who influence
20,000 who influence 200,000
Organization
New Math: 5,000 people who want to hear your message are more valuable than 5 million who don’t.

THE FUNDAMENTALS
![Page 15: Elasticity on Digital Word of Mouth](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555a4a88d8b42ad56a8b4719/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Types of WOM Marketing
• ORGANIC WOM– Occurs naturally as a result of the
positive qualities of your product/brand
• AMPLIFIED WOM– WOM that is intentionally started
through a proactive campaign.

Three Rules of WOM Marketing
• BE INTERESTING:– Give people a reason to talk about you.– Be interesting or be invisible.
• MAKE IT EASY– Help WOM spread. Give them the tools.
• MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY– When people like you, they’ll share your message.

Key Themes
• Conventional Wisdom: “You’re losing control of your brand”– To the contrary – you CAN moderate
• WOM must be co-created and nurtured in coordination with consumers
• Integrate WOM into all consumer touch points• Always capture information for future contact– Like a good salesman, always ask for the next step.

THE REAL QUESTION IS…
![Page 21: Elasticity on Digital Word of Mouth](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555a4a88d8b42ad56a8b4719/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Why would anyone want to talk about YOU?“
![Page 22: Elasticity on Digital Word of Mouth](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555a4a88d8b42ad56a8b4719/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
People talk about you when it benefits them.“

They’ll talk about you if…
• It makes them look smart• It enables them to help others• It allows them to feel important• It enables connection to a group• Detractors will talk if they have a bad experience

Every company is its own TV station, magazine, and newspaper.“
IT’S ABOUT CONTENT
![Page 34: Elasticity on Digital Word of Mouth](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555a4a88d8b42ad56a8b4719/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Social Media is Content Marketing
• Creative– It’s a 24-hour content cycle. You’d
better have something to break through the noise of the conversation.
• Brand Building– Content and conversation define a
brand more than a new logo or a press release.
• Engaging– Inspire feedback. This is not a
copywriting assignment.• Relevance is Redefined
– To create conversation, simple, random and banal may be a brand’s best bets.

Create a persona. Not a proposition.“
