Comments on: Word of Mouth: In or out? http://blog.sabasearch.com/word-of-mouth-in-or-out/ Houston's South Asian Community Blog Wed, 19 Nov 2008 22:17:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: BusinessOwner http://blog.sabasearch.com/word-of-mouth-in-or-out/#comment-33 BusinessOwner 12 Feb 2008 14:58:47 http://blog.sabasearch.com/?p=25#comment-33 I would agree that word of mouth is probably the biggest marketing scheme for South Asian businesses. There are many South Asian businesses that I know that do not market on the web, newspapers, or radio, and solely rely on word of mouth. But, like you mentioned, this is a disadvantage if you have disagreements with customers. It is more likely that people spread bad news about a business before good news. So the South Asian market is an interesting one in that it is hard to get established, but once you do, the community responds very well. Great job on the article and looking forward to more business advice. I would agree that word of mouth is probably the biggest marketing scheme for South Asian businesses.
