Viral Marketing, Getting the Word Out
Viral marketing is representative of the power of the people on the internet. Word travels fast especially in cyber space.
Viral marketing is the perfect example of how things can get quickly spread to others. It is like a big game of telephone. It uses social networks to brand or bring exposure to products or service by word of mouth. It is called viral marketing because it in effect replicates itself by the passing on of one person to another and eventually thousands or even millions. It's fast and very effective. One thing to remember about viral marketing is that it is usually not self sustaining after a certain point and new campaigns must be in the making constantly.
The viral marketing works is a company identifies someone with a large and strong social network that fits within the population of someone who may use their products or services. Then that person passes along to their network information in the form of an e-mail, video, audio clip or other medium. The theoretically the people the first person contacted will pass the information on to their individual networks and so on and so on. It's easy to see how it could get real big real fast. The many different types of messages and varieties of message transmittal can keep a marketing campaign fresh. This is especially so because it needs to be changed fairly often. That's where the branding comes in. If the viral marketing campaign is interesting enough people will pay attention every time something new happens.
Viral marketing is all about creating a buzz. The best marketing tool has always been word of mouth and viral marketing is just word of mouth wrapped up in a high tech package. The internet is a whole new world of marketing opportunity and this is just another of its cool variations. And, because of the way it is transmitted the reach is extraordinary. Any item with an internet connection like a PDA or cell phone can be tapped to deliver a message. Viral marketing even uses text messaging!
The internet is still the Wild Wild West and viral marketing is just another brilliant way for companies to harness the power of the internet with new and innovative marketing campaigns. It's fast, effective and legitimate. Most people are unaware that they are even being marketed too. But they still buy all the stuff being marketed!
