Business-Service
The most successful way to advertise your business is through word-of-mouth. Start using earthfaves as your word-of-mouth recommendation platform today!
Having customers positively recommend you on to other people is invaluable. A recent study based with certain major companies reports that a mere 1% increase in the number of positive recommendations equated with an astonishing €10 million in extra sales.*
Did you know that more than 70% of all purchasing decisions are based on word-of-mouth? More impressive, 80% of consumers are more likely to consider buying products recommended by real-world friends and family. And 92% of all consumers prefer a word-of-mouth recommendation, period.*
At earthfaves, it’s our business to make sure the positive recommendations about your business are made visible online.
Any member of our network that adds your business to their list of earthfaves implicitly says ‘I love this place’ about your product or services. And because our technology works the way it does, at the moment your business becomes an earthfave, it’s automatically recommended to the entire network (friends, family, and colleagues) of the person that added you.
Starting is easy. It doesn’t cost anything, just a bit of time:
- Discover new earthfaves and advertise for free.
- Ask your customers to recommend your business to others using earthfaves.com.
- Publish your earthfaves to your website.
