According to the research of Jonah Berger, professor of marketing at the Wharton School
at the University of Pennsylvania, who recently spoke at Google, only 7% of word of mouth is online. So the question is, how do you make your product or service part of the 93% of offline word of mouth?
I don’t have research to back it up, but I’d bet people are more likely to share a great face-to-face experience than a great online one – and face-to-face is where small business can excel. Also, with only 7% of WOM happening online, there’s a lot of room for growth!

@ADemme Hi! I would put Follow us on Twitter @your handle and be sure to like our facebook page… link. That usually isn’t too much to ask. You can even say, if you comment or tweet me I’ll message you with a discount for your next order (that gets people to actually take action)

I like the idea of a personal note in each shipment, and is a concept that bat around once in a while here. Would you recommend including more than one social network in a note like that, or have you found it best to keep it simple? (i.e. “Thanks” followed by an invitation to Facebook)

Nice write up. I use Social Media very frequently for my small business. Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest, all These sites are my favorite social media site and m getting a good results on it. This is the fact that Social media plays a very important role in achieving goals in small business. It also helps to get more exposure and huge responses from potential customers. Even I feel that social media is an amazing world of people where we share, talk and even stay connected as long as we want. http://workwithmarkchoo.com/which-is-the-best-social-media-for-small-business
