GasPedal to Give Away Word of Mouth Marketing Scholarships



GasPedal, a word of mouth training firm, is launching the first Word of Mouth Crash Course on July 30 in Chicago by giving away 15% of its seats to non-profits, small businesses, and individual bloggers. The scholarships are being awarded as part of GasPedal's commitment to help hard-working organizations and individuals learn to execute effective word of mouth strategies even without expensive marketing budgets.

"Word of mouth is the kind of marketing you can do well yourself even in a tough economy," says GasPedal CEO Andy Sernovitz. "We're delighted to give away 15% of our seats to non-profits and small businesses because we admire their entrepreneurial spirit and believe they are hard-working organizations that thrive on word of mouth the most."

The Word of Mouth Crash Course is an intense, one-day workshop designed to teach businesses advanced ethics-based word of mouth marketing techniques, including blogs, buzz, viral marketing, and social media. Participants come away with a customized action plan they can use to engage in word of mouth marketing immediately and without the resources to hire an agency. The course is taught by Sernovitz, a noted expert in the field and author of "Word of Mouth Marketing: How Smart Companies Get People Talking."

In addition to the inaugural session on July 30, the Word of Mouth Crash Course is being taught on September 4 and October 9. All events are held at the Catalyst Ranch in Chicago.
