Here are some of the key insights and feedback:
“It’s always helpful to hear from people who have already used or worn a product you would like to buy.”
“Definitely, word of mouth is likely to influence my buying choices as I feel if I know and trust someone and they recommend something, then I’m more likely to buy it as I feel they would be truthful in their recommendations.”
“If people are talking about a certain item, you are more likely to go and buy it yourself.”
Key Recommendations for Brands
- Make it easy for people to share your products/services sales pages to their social media and Whatsapp/Messenger
- Think about any offers you could make for people who do recommend your product or service to others.
- Is your business tracking whether a new customer bought because they had a recommendation from someone? If this can be tracked, you can start to see referrals.
