• In the 1970’s the average person was exposed to
500 ads a day…
• Today?
• According to CBS News,
we see as many as 5,000!
• A billboard for a new restaurant or a recommendation from a friend about a new restaurant?
• A million dollar movie trailer or a mention from a friend that it’s a great movie?
It’s called “word of mouth.”
