| Grassroots marketing | Grassroots marketing is about building a relationship with influencers in your key market and getting them so enthusiastic for your product or service they practically become your sales force. It doesn’t mean checking out the garden centre in your lunch hour. ‘Ooooh look at those pansies’. |
| Groups | collection of people brought together online because of similar interests, goals, or concerns are known as groups. They exchange ideas and messages in chat rooms; message boards; forums; via email; and sometimes on the ‘phone. A member of a group is a grouper. Ok, we made that up. |
