Asking questions is more powerful than preaching

Our research projects have shown, that there is an even more powerful form of word-of-mouth. Once consumers are triggered to ask questions to positive brand users, the impact is even higher. When consumers are asking questions, you are certain that they are really interested in hearing the story about the brand. Furthermore, they choose who they will ask the question to. Two reasons why the impact is higher than when brand advocates take the initiative to convince other consumers.
