Viral Marketing

It's hard to understand why any company wouldn't want to throw out the old method
to try a different approach to marketing these days.

Its not enough anymore that you create a commercial for your product anymore, if your commercial doesn't have the ability to go viral it will surly be lost in the shuffle.

Viral Marketing can even be cheaper then your regular commercial marketing, its just a matter of aligning yourself with the right people for writing and executing it with the right team of filmmakers to make it look good or bad depending on which way it goes.


Think of your Viral Ad campaign as this horrible diagram I quickly drew up. Yay Photoshop!
Using various social media network and links, your viral video will spread like a virus through out the web.

Now you're asking, 'well how does that help me?' thats simple within each viral video produced youtube has a nifty little link button where you can 'Call to Action' and this action can be as simple as 'Like' us on facebook for 10 percent off your next purchase! I know, it doesn't seem like much but it means a lot to those who see it!

So they 'like' your facebook page, now what? well thats where some more social media marketing comes into play. Hopefully you'll be doing this already, but once you have a viewership at your finger tips keeping them up-to-date with what is going on with your service or product might be a good idea.

And people don't just 'like' anything for no reason so its like having a phonebook that lists people by interest and directly marketing to them!
