VIRAL MARKETING
Viral marketing is such an ominous name for such a great marketing tool. But don’t be put off by the name. It is merely a term to describe the modern way that a message gets passed along from person to person. Great messages get transmitted like wildfire, or like viruses, hence the term viral marketing.
However, not all messages get passed along. Our computers come with a lovely invention called the delete key and that is how we dispose of things that don’t interest us. The key to viral marketing is to create compelling, original, and fresh ideas, worthy of being passed along. Any marketing technique that induces the viewer or listener to pass along the messages to others can be considered viral marketing. “E-mail to a friend” and “send to a friend” features on websites have been used effectively for quite some time now. Currently the 2 hottest forms of viral marketing are blogging and podcasting. www.leadingwebsitedesigns.com has a crack creative team that will open up the world of blogging and podcasting for your company.
According to San Francisco based Technorati Inc. there are more than 75.2 million blogs, with more than 175,000 and 1.6 million new posts created each day. Viral marketing is so effective because it:
- Creates a buzz in the industry
- Increases the number of people that see or hear your message exponentially
- Is relatively low cost
- Inspires trust and confidence because people view the fact that someone they know is passing along the message as a recommendation or a referral
