Viral Marketing - Methods

Methods

Viral marketing often involves and utilizes:

  • Customer participation & polling services
  • Industry-specific organization contributions
  • Internet search engines & blogs
  • Mobile smartphone integration
  • Multiple forms of print and direct marketing
  • Outbound/inbound call center services
  • Target marketing web services
  • Search engine optimization (SEO) web development
  • Social media interconnectivity
  • Television & radio

VMS target marketing is based on three important principles:

  1. Social profile gathering
  2. Proximity market analysis
  3. Real-time key word density analysis

By applying these three important disciplines to an advertising model, a VMS company is able to match a client with their targeted customers at a cost effective advantage.

The Internet makes it possible for a campaign to go viral very fast. However, the Internet and in particular social media technologies do not make a brand viral; they just enable people to tell other people faster. The Internet can, so to speak, make a brand famous overnight.

Famous quotes containing the word methods:

    “If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself.... If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.”
    —Mao Zedong (1893–1976)

    “The comparison between Coleridge and Johnson is obvious in so far as each held sway chiefly by the power of his tongue. The difference between their methods is so marked that it is tempting, but also unnecessary, to judge one to be inferior to the other. Johnson was robust, combative, and concrete; Coleridge was the opposite. The contrast was perhaps in his mind when he said of Johnson: “his bow-wow manner must have had a good deal to do with the effect produced.””
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “There are souls that are incurable and lost to the rest of society. Deprive them of one means of folly, they will invent ten thousand others. They will create subtler, wilder methods, methods that are absolutely DESPERATE. Nature herself is fundamentally antisocial, it is only by a usurpation of powers that the organized body of society opposes the natural inclination of humanity.”
    —Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
