A company can claim they have "the best," but people in general are more likely to go with opinions/experiences of those close to them. Knowing one's target audience is also an important factor. You won't sell meat to a vegetarian no matter how hard you try. And above all, take honest feedback seriously. If the masses say nay, nix it.

There are certain types of people (trendsetters, connectors, etc) who are going to have far more person to person connections who are going to spread the word about your brand to a wider audience more quickly. Those are the ones to target!

The key is to use every media outlet you are given and keep up with the times. It's amazing how much publicity you will receive from blogging, Facebook, and Twitter!

The three step approach is a valuable asset for public relations, and should be followed in most instances. This is a good way to get people talking about your product. I like the article.

For example, salespeople who say everything looks good on you can have the reverse effect, causing the customer to buy nothing!
