- Provide exclusivity. People will appreciate it if you make them feel special. You can do that by offering information, products, services, even advice that are available only to your customers.
- Design products with talking points and consumers’ desired self-images in mind. This will stimulate word of mouth and social media based conversations. People will talk about companies, products and services that are interesting, fun, intriguing, highly visible and emotionally engaging.
- Be outrageous. People tend to talk about things which are somewhat outrageous.
- Utilize the power of stories. Experts say that memorable stories tend to be retold from one person to another, from one client to a friend to another friend.
- From one-way traffic to an interactive avenue. People will be bored if you keep on talking without giving them the opportunity to say their opinions, ask and communicate.
