The Buzz Marketing Technique in Advertising your Business

By Paul Garnett

One simple technique in reaching out to potential customers is to use word-of-mouth advertising. This technique, also called the buzz marketing technique is done when you inform potential customers about your product and will be spread from person to person.

It is quite obvious that this marketing technique can be very limited. Buzz marketing can also be disastrous to your business if the strategy is not effective and if there are miscommunications in parties involved. This is why buzz marketing is recommended as a supplement only to a main advertising method.

In Buzz marketing, please always bear in mind the most important word, "stories". If you have a very commanding and believed story, eventually, the story will scatter.

If you start out with the good story about your product, it will be received and spread out to many people as possible. If it is of little interest, it might just be forgotten right then.

The key is creating an impressive and catchy story that a person is tempted to tell another person. If there are more people who received the story, obviously, there will be more purchases of the product or service.

Buzz marketing is not gossiping. It is about telling a real story about your product. It something that should not be made up, but something that reflects the product you are trying to sell. It is always important to tell a story that is true about what you are selling.

Using this technique in promoting your product may gain you different responses. Most often, if a great and impressive story is told, the person receiving it may have so many ways of telling it to others.

Those who heard the story and were impressed about it can even use the internet in spreading it to others. There are actually many ways that the story can be told again.

Lastly, make sure that an actual and possible reference must be provided in order that the person who received the story may look into to verify its truthfulness and genuineness.
