“Using Social Media to Sound Off About Brands”

Posted by Joe Cannon

This article, “Using Social Media to Sound Off About Brands” (Adweek, June 4, 2010) reports the results of a Harris Poll about consumer behavior online.  For readers of Teach the 4 Ps and other marketing literature, it is probalby not a huge surprise that consumers will use social media to rave or complain about brands — though I was surprised to see that 34% of users of these sites claim to have used the sites for this purpose.  Social media was also found to influence purchase decisions — wihtith reviews from family and friends yielding the most influence.
