WOMF Hawaii
From
WOMF Hawaii
From the earliest days of ships sailing between the Hawaiian Islands and continents across the globe, “word of mouth” has proven to be the most effective technique for growing business.  The busiest ships were those talked about the most.  Proof of performance from one peer to another…
 
Whilst it is impossible to question the impact on our businesses when customers are talking about us, until recently, the process of gathering customer referrals was laborious and often word of mouth just didn’t spread fast!  At the same time, research shows us, the modern day consumer is more interested in what other customers are saying about you then what you have to say to them.
 
WOMF, the Word Of Mouth Forum, gives the local community its platform for local, consumer-to-consumer communications… it’s the “FACEBOOK” of consumer networking; it’s the place where your customers are talking about your products and services!  New to Hawaii, WOMF is a growing phenomenon across 5 continents!
 
Have you WOMFed? 
 
Do you Tweet on Twitter or catch up with old friends on Facebook?  Do you network professionally on LinkedIn?  In a world where “new” can be defined as tomorrow, culture today embraces technology that is relevant and simple to use.
 
The practical nature of WOMF is local consumers helping other local consumers make the best decisions about what products and where to buy.  It’s a “Main Street” mentality with a modern edge.  A quick visit to WOMF will show you just how easy you can GIVE or GET information.  It’s really SIMPLE. You can change your message daily, weekly whatever you want. Also you should participate in your own success. 85% of referrals are now coming from online forums so get your best customers to WOMF. So get your customers to talk you up. Word of Mouth is the best form of advertising…period.
 
Opportunity for Business!
 
With thousands of people jumping online and connecting through WOMF, talking about Hawaii’s products and services, wouldn’t you want to position your business in front of their eyeballs?  The unique aspect of WOMF’s layout builds on specific product categories, each sponsored by six businesses.  This online real estate is not only limited in quantity with just six positions in each product category, the size of each add is the same too.  A user-friendly flow keeps WOMFers engaged and prevents big business from overtaking local opportunity. The real benefit is its all local. Capturing customers that are specifically interested in your product, in your service, should be expensive.  But, with WOMF, for a lot less than your Yellow Page ad or listing in the daily newspaper, WOMF is your 24/7 platform, promoting your business in a place where your customers are spending time and talking about you to potential customers. Using KGMB9 to promote the site…and donating money to local community groups it’s a great community forum!
