Russian term or phrase: сарафанное радио
This is from an interview with someone who has set up a website for putting businesses in contact with potentially profitable customers.

Наша платформа может автоматически определять influencers, людей, имеющих большой вес в своем кругу в соцсети, и предлагать им более выгодные условия или предложения. Это один из лучших маркетинговых подходов. У «сарафанного радио» в Рунете огромный маркетинговый потенциал.
