word-of-mouth is still advertising it's just not the traditional way. What will happen is businesses will just pay people to run around talking about how awesome their business is.
- ghoward 5y agoThat's true, but the word-of-mouth I am talking about is different. I'm talking about word-of-mouth where actual customers of the business decide of their own free will to tell people how good it is. I don't think that's advertising in the sense that we understand it.
- CountDrewku 5y agoI mean if I'm a business I will just give free stuff to someone with more clout and then they'll give me all sorts of praise. Exactly the same as social media influencers. On the surface your idea seems good but it'll easily get corrupted.
- ghoward 5y agoI think you are correct, but I also hope people still have good detectors for such underhanded tactics. I could be wrong, though. But even if they do it, and it turns out the product is not good, customers won't come back. That's why the kolaches thing worked. I love those kolaches, by the way, and I never got a free one. My wife introduced me to them.
