There is one form of advertising that has always worked, and will continue to work, and has nearly a guaranteed positive ROI. It’s the most trusted form of advertising out there, has no shelf life, and will always be well received by your market – so what is it?
Word Of Mouth!
That’s right, possibly the most perfect form of small business marketing your products and services is through word of mouth.
If you’re not sure how powerful word of mouth can be, take a look at these statistics:
• 2/3 of the United States Economy is driven by word of mouth
• 10% of consumers influence the purchasing decisions of the other 90%
• 91% of consumers are “likely” to buy off of a recommendation
• 92% of consumers “prefer” a word of mouth recommendation
These numbers should excite you- they excite us! That's why we have put together marketing programs that work to generate local visibility and positive word of mouth. Stay tuned to learn how you can use these tools to grow a positive buzz for your business.

Please watch this video to see why we are partnering with Make the Difference Network to help small businesses use Cause Marketing.

In today's challenging economic climate, many businesses are making a terrible mistake in an effort to ride out the tough times. "What mistake they are making? They are trimming back on the keybusiness activity affecting their sales stream - Marketing! Cutting back on marketing is flirting with disaster. Businesses should be concerned with increasing the value of marketing by working with more cost effective marketing tools.

So, how do you get more marketing "bang for your buck?" Try a press release. This will not only protect businesses from declining sales, but will strengthen business threats against opportunistic competitors who view the difficult economy as a great way to outmaneuver you and grab your customers.
