“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.”
