Sure, word of mouth matters. That’s why we created Kudzu.com — to help homeowners choose the best service providers for their home and family, and give service providers an online forum to drive “word of mouth” for their businesses.

Now, we take word of mouth one step further by having a few private words with you, mom to mom, homeowner to homeowner, neighbor to neighbor right here on this blog. We’ll tell you about our experiences with local merchants along with what’s new at Kudzu – contests, website enhancements and more. And we may even share a few other things that are going on in our lives.

Hey, why not? It’s how we connect. And never underestimate the power of connected moms! In fact, moms make 85% of all purchase decisions — and when we talk to each other about what service businesses we like and don’t like, watch out. Those businesses better be paying attention!
