Why do we trust what other buyers recommend?

Why should we trust the reviews at point-of-sale or in a brochure?

traditional approach:

the brand controls the reviews

not really social, no trust

Can we trust independent product directories?

Should we trust independent search?

Maybe we can trust experts and authorities?

Hm, apparently not…

word-of-mouth, but who can we trust?

Social proof: Put your money where your mouth is

trust + social proof = $$$

Sharing & Referring

Social network sharing: word-of-mouth for friends

This has led to an answer to… What do my friends think of this product?

And also an answer to… What are my friends buying?

And it also led to... Influencer marketing

A small detour… social network theory

focus on the right people

“gatekeepers” know the right people

“pulsetakers” know the most people

who know the right people

“hubs” know the most people

End of detour… social network theory influencer marketing is not spamming the hubs it’s working through the right people (and let the network do the rest)

7 Important Questions…

1. What is our strategy for targeting the right people? 2. How do we build trust in our brand? 3. How do we develop social proof? 4. Are we engaging instead of just broadcasting? 5. What can we do locally instead of globally? 6. Can social media disrupt our supply chain? 7. Are our consumer apps where our consumers are?
