Word of Mouth Attracts New Customers

You’ve heard it – Social Media has been called one big cocktail party. Why? Because it’s us having conversation on everything from our little aches and pains to the latest and greatest in our lives, loves and laughs. So brands now understand that this casual word of mouth marketing is powerful – and essential to attract new customers.

How are brand marketers using social media “marketing” to increase revenues? (By the way, ALL companies are brands online – and offline – even small business.) Take a cue from Christine Morrison, TurboTax’s Social Media Marketing Manager, as she describes the fundamentals of applying word of mouth marketing to TurboTax’s social media strategy in this video.
