Social Media Social Hour Podcast: Social Media Marketing | Content Marketing | Facebook Marketing | Instagram Marketing

Do you invest an ample amount of time and money in advertising and marketing? Do you invest time and money in a word-of-mouth strategy? If you're like most businesses, the answer to those questions is a yes to the first and no to the second. Most companies take word-of-mouth recommendations from their customers for granted. What's crazy about that is 90% of purchases are influenced by word-of-mouth.
