“WORD OF MOUTH”

“WORD OF MOUTH”



Is it all the promotions that matter for the success of a product? No the success of a product is not totally dependent on the promotions. It is astonishing to know that a research showed in Japan the most successful firms do not advertise there products. There products are indirectly advertised by there customers through “word of mouth”. To explain “word of mouth” lets take an example a person goes to Pizza Hut and does not likes its service, he will start criticizing it and will stop his family, friends etc from going to Pizza Hut. Contrary to it, if the same person likes the service of Pizza Hut he will suggest his friends to go there. Despite the fact Pizza Hut must have spent a lot on advertising and other promotional techniques it can not improve its reputation unless it satisfies it unsatisfied customer. Hence “word of mouth” plays the most significant role for the success of any business.
