A、Socializing and networking has made people closer. B、Its high credibility has made people trust the products. C、Its low costs

Tonight, I’ll be specifically talking about word-of-mouth advertising. As we all know, billions of dollars are spent on advertising every year.
    Well,(23)do you prefer to buy products recommended by an advertiser or your friends? Personally, I prefer the latter, because I trust my friends. So, word-of-mouth advertising happens when a person tells another person about a good experience with a product or service. That second person then tells another friend, family member, or colleague. By contraries, traditional advertisers talk about how good their products are. Usually, they say things like, " Studies show that our products are the best," or " Everyone loves our products," but it can sound insincere or unconvincing. And some statistics also prove that word-of-mouth advertising is more reliable and effective.
     (24)According to a new study from NOP World, 93% of people believe word of mouth is the most reliable way to find out information about products and services. 70% of people are affected by it. 37% will buy it or try it, 24% will consider it and merely 9% will avoid it.
    So, it’s obvious that word-of-mouth advertising has many advantages like high credibility, low costs, great reach and high efficiency. Do you agree with me? And the main reasons for the wide popularity of word-of-mouth advertising are also apparent.(25)Socializing and networking have now made people closer and closer. So relatives and friends are simply accessible over the net.
