wordofmouth

Dictionary meaning

the passing of information, recommendations, or opinions from person to person through informal spoken communication rather than through formal advertising, media, or written channels; word of mouth is considered one of the most powerful forms of marketing and social influence because personal recommendations from trusted sources carry a credibility that paid promotion cannot replicate; it is also used to describe how news, gossip, or reputations spread through communities without official dissemination
