All the examples above are word of mouth advertising. If you like something and tell a friend, you just helped that company. If you don't like it, you just wasted all the money they spent on commercials. Your opinion is a valuable walking advertisement. If you are also a business person you should realize how important word of mouth is and use it to your advantage. For example, I pray that people will like my blog on Facebook. I hope their friends will see it and check out my blog as well. Social networking sites really enhance word of mouth and can get the message to more people in less time.
However, most people out there are consumers not business owners. So at the very least we should be aware of how our support of different companies and products affects their sales. It is just another example of the power in our words.
