This study investigates the significant influence of the service marketing mix on word-of-mouth marketing within the context of fashion designers in Aizawl. Recognizing the rapidly evolving nature of the fashion industry and the local reliance on WOM in Aizawl, the research specifically examines the effect of the 7Ps on WOM. Data were collected from 384 customers of three prominent fashion designers in Aizawl using a questionnaire with a Likert scale, and analyzed via multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that Product, Price, Promotion, People, Physical Evidence, and Process all have a positive and significant effect on WOM. However, contrary to expectations, Place was found not to have a significant effect on WOM in this particular context. These results highlight the critical importance of optimizing these six marketing mix elements to drive positive consumer discourse and referrals, while suggesting that the role of physical location in generating WOM may vary by context. This study contributes valuable insights for service providers in Aizawl and similar markets on effective marketing strategies to foster WOM.
