Answer to Question 1

Word-of-mouth advertising is the constantly evolving, ancient form of advertising and marketing that carries one of the strongest and influential messages. It involves a testimonial, where an individual extols the virtues of a particular business, remains one of the strongest and most influential forms of marketing and advertising.

Written or digital forms of word-of-mouth advertising take place largely through the application of social media websites such as Facebook, Yelp, Myspace, Twitter, and YouTube. These applications use web-based and mobile technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogue amongst its users. Social media has the capability of reaching a small or large global audience with little to no cost that allows for a one- or two-way means of communication about a brand. Social media creates an immediacy which can be capable of instantaneous responses, if desired.
