    Thousands of entrepreneurs and small businesses suffer from not understanding their customers. They don't what they are doing right that causes customers to come to them. And, importantly, they don't know why customers choose to shop a competitor instead. More Guerrilla Marketing Research solves that problem by teaching business people to ask the right questions the right way and use the answers to make more money. The mission of Bob Kaden and Gerald Linda was to build upon the success Guerrilla Marketing Research, first published in 2006.

You will come to understand why consumer emotions and feelings are more important to your growth than ever before. And, you will learn what the future holds for the industry and how you can be among the first to benefit from embracing 21st century marketing research approaches. The authors will talk about their work, how small businesses can use the book to spend less and generate more results and how big corporate brands like JetBlue and VirginAmerica began as guerrilla marketers.

    Jackie Huba: Three Misconceptions about Social Media and Generating Word-of-Mouth

    What are the 3 biggest misconceptions about social media and generating WOM?

    1. There's still the misconception that you need something to go viral for something to be successful in Social Media. A funny cartoon or a funny video. You don’t need viral. The largest viral campaign was: Elfyourself – it was distributed to millions of people, but only a small percentage of people realized that it was produced by OfficeMax and it did not generate any large amount of new purchases. So, just because something goes viral, does not ensure successful branding and financial gains.It makes more sense to use these different mediums to build a following and engage.

    2. It can’t be measured. There are really many measures for social media to discover if your efforts are successful. There are tactical and strategic ways to measure results of your campaign.

    3. You can put your intern in charge of your SM. You need a seasoned individual to manage your social media and customer service. You want the most experience person managing these types of networks.
