"What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a-happening … " Word of mouth - it’s always been a thing. Surveys show it's an important part of the purchase journey. Marketers talk about it. A lot. But when consumers say they heard about something or decided to purchase because of 'word of mouth' does that mean what marketers think it means? To consumers, 13 - 39 word of mouth is more than words going from actual mouths into physical ears. For young consumers today anyone, saying anything, anywhere is part of their 'word of mouth.' That's right, a stranger’s review on a brand’s website, a comment on a post promoting a different product altogether, a nanoinfluencer, or your best friend. It's all word of mouth.
