So true. The current interest in "social media" seems to be a rediscovery of what has always worked for local, trusted businesses. The Web allows national brands to more effectively affiliate with consumers by seeping into their social circles. Conversely, local businesses can use the Web to grow through leveraging the consumer trust they already have. Your illustration shows the value of breaking through mass media clutter and into the area of trust. Our attempts at illustrating this can be seen on SlideShare (http://www.slideshare.net/timtracey/slideshows). - - Tim Tim Traceys last blog post..<a href="http://yougottacall.blogspot.com/2008/12/my-take-microblogging-pronounced.html" rel="nofollow">My Take: Microblogging (pronounced "Twitter")</a> Hi Ritu,

“Word of mouth advertising has been the holy grail of traditional marketing and it is true when it comes to social media marketing as well.”

So true.

The current interest in “social media” seems to be a rediscovery of what has always worked for local, trusted businesses. The Web allows national brands to more effectively affiliate with consumers by seeping into their social circles. Conversely, local businesses can use the Web to grow through leveraging the consumer trust they already have.

Your illustration shows the value of breaking through mass media clutter and into the area of trust. Our attempts at illustrating this can be seen on SlideShare (http://www.slideshare.net/timtracey/slideshows).
