We’ve all heard it before that old bromide seeing is believing… But have you ever asked if this is true when it comes to human behavior? Although many people have considered this in different context, the thought was believed to have originated in Greek civilization… The Greeks thought that seeing and knowing were considered the same or similar. An actual quote came later from a 17th century English clergyman, Thomas Fuller. (The full quote from the 17th century English clergyman, Thomas Fuller, is "Seeing is believing, but feeling is the truth." This suggests that believing and truth are two very separate matters altogether.) What I’m about to say may challenge your thinking. Although you may have heard that 1 million times, I submit to you that seeing is only the evidence of something you already believe when it comes to human behavior that is. In the book Positioning by Jack trout and Al Ries, the book says we use what we see to make justification for what we already believe. The book goes on to give an example of a Democrat or Republican reading the same exact article and coming out with a whole different view of what was said, rationalizing and justifying why one candidate or bill is better than the other. How is that possible? I submit to you it’s because of something we have heard from somebody we believe. In the final analysis, when we hear something from a trusted source, we tend to believe it sometimes in contrast to overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

What is the most likely way you will try that new restaurant or see that latest movie? Somebody will tell you about it… Right? Ahh… the spoken word or word of mouth (WOM)… It builds the most important thing that generates action and that is ANTICIPATION! Audio advertising when done correctly can activate word of mouth advertising like no other… Kimberly A. Whitler Senior Contributor to Forbes and Author of Positioning for Advantage, Professor, and former GM/CMO references in her article: Why Word Of Mouth Marketing Is the Most Important social media, references that according to Nielsen, 92% of consumers believe recommendations from friends and family over all forms of advertising. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kimberlywhitler/2014/07/17/why-word-of-mouth-marketing-is-the-most-important-social-media/?sh=6e4e2fbe54a8 And according to Jacobs Media Strategies, radio has a huge opportunity to activate WOM in the social space – not just to post what is going on at the station or today's concert announcement, but to be in the moment as an entertainment or information focused brand that connects with its listeners. In other words, activating the buzz. And I say that means taking your business along for the ride to increased sales and visibility. https://jacobsmedia.com/how-your-radio-station-can-harness-word-of-mouth/ Every expert that is worth their salt will tell you, word of mouth advertising is the most effective form of advertising! Let Audio First Media show you how to take your company from obscurity to a trusted brand!
