What are the different components of Advocacy

The advocates spread positive word-of-mouth recommendations about your company’s brand and performance. Different components of Advocacy are given below.

Components of Advocacy

Brand Advocacy

• The main tenet of brand advocacy is to create your brand and build its reputation and extend its reach.
• Through positive word-of-mouth marketing, brand advocates spread the good news about your business and products.
• This component of advocacy doesn’t focus so much on the sale of products and services as it does on building the company’s image and reputation, which in turn influences purchase.
• Brand advocates could be your employees, your customers or key industry influencers.

Customer Advocacy

• Edelman’s trust barometer indicates that buyers, customers, and consumers would rather trust each other than trust information or sales talk from employees.
• Customer advocacy capitalizes on this and gets customers to become advocates for your company and share positive messages about the company.
• For this, companies need to demonstrate commitment to customers, which is naturally closely linked with customer service.

Employee Advocacy

• This is a component of advocacy that actively engages employees to generate exposure for the company using their personal online assets.

• These assets, which are primarily social media platforms can also extend to email chat, forums, and discussion boards.
