WOM Metrics

From Church of the Customer, interesting stats on Word of Mouth. A key figure:

92%: Percentage of word of mouth conversations that occur offline; 71% of those occur face-to-face, and 21% occur by phone.
Implication: Marketers should consider thinking of the Internet as a medium for seeding ideas, not necessarily spreading them (although it certainly can do that).
