Companies who want to win in social media and community marketing need to stand for something. After that I say good hunting...

Word of mouth (in whatever form, online or off) is quite possibly the most important form of marketing there is. The company I work for has never advertised our business beyond our local Yellow Pages, and sponsoring my boss's son's hockey team. Yet we've been in business for 13+ years and put customer service above all else. We've never been hurting for work, and it's all been due to positive word of mouth. It's been said that if someone has a good experience, they may tell one person. But if someone has a bad experience, they will tell everyone they know. And it's true.
