Selling To Word-Of-Mouth-Driven Consumers

How To Identify These Customers And Enable Their Communications

by Carrie Johnson

with Charles P. Wilson, Brian Tesch

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Word-of-mouth-driven consumers — consumers who both listen to and spread purchase-related word of mouth — present a challenge to marketers. These online consumers don't earn much, but they spend more than other online consumers, making them an attractive target for marketers. They feel strongly about how they shop, but their attitudes toward loyalty, pricing, and advertising are contradictory. How do marketers harness these word-of-mouth-driven consumers? By tapping into their natural word of mouth and stimulating it with creative and relevant offerings through communicative, entertainment-related, and shopping-related online activities.
