Did you know that Crocs Inc. has a very small marketing campaign? They rely on word-of-mouth marketing to sell their products.
Despite only a small marketing campaign, Crocs became popular in the United States and elsewhere because of word-of-mouth praise for their comfort, bright colors, light weight (about six ounces), and unique design. (wikipedia.com)

The use of WOM does work when recommending a brand, particularly when it is coming from someone of familiarity or who is trust-worthy.
WOM, as opposed to weighty, advertising intervention, can increase interest and sales. However, when you need to guide a specific group of buyers/users to the brand/service, formal advertising can be that leverage and therefore allow informal WOM to follow and influence other potential buyers/users.
