How to Make the Most of Word-of-Mouth Marketing

ASNF 1 day ago

When it comes to people telling others about your business, favorable word-of-mouth spreads slowly, however unfavorable word-of-mouth spreads like wildfire. Therefore, with respect to negative word of mouth feedback, it stands to reason that first, you need to do everything in your power to monitor what is being said about your company. Then, you need to promptly and decisively address any negative discussions to minimize negative word-of-mouth discourse. The core message of this post is to encourage positive word-of-mouth marketing. Since positive word-of-mouth messages spread more slowly than negative ones, businesses need to be much more proactive when it comes to creating positive word-of-mouth.

Health authorities in Norway say there’s no evidence of a direct link between the recent string of deaths among elderly people inoculated against COVID-19, and the vaccine they received.

The Norwegian Medicines Agency is seeking to address fears that taking the vaccine might be too risky, after 33 people in the country aged 75 and over died following immunization, according to the agency’s latest figures. All were already seriously ill, it said.

“Clearly, Covid-19 is far more dangerous to most patients than vaccination,” Steinar Madsen, medical director at the Norwegian Medicines Agency, said by phone on Monday. “We are not alarmed.”
