Briefly the argument that I have made is that effective WOM communication is based less in the marketing of a particular brand and more in the everyday conversations in relational networks, since it is those everyday conversations and relationships that form the basis for the influence characteristic of WOM episodes.
Specifically you want to ask the participants in the WOM episodes about how they make sense of their own interaction and to provide insights that an outside analyst wouldn't have access to since s/he is not an "insider" to the relationship.
