Viral Marketing: A Sophisticated Tool in The Digital Age.

Viral marketing is a form of ‘word of mouth’ marketing which helps marketers to directly communicate with customers in an intellectual way. Viral marketing is traditional way of business but the medium has been far more sophisticated in this digital age to reach millions in a quickest possible way.

Viral advertising drives direct response from not only seriously interested customers but also those who are quite likely to become future prospects by providing powerful newsworthy information. The victory and mounting growth of brand name MSN, the webmail service, grew to 30 million members within two and half years and 260 million users in recent. YouTube is another example of giant sized success.

Strategy in viral marketing:
1. Be very funny, interesting
2. Be very unique, “successful people don’t do different things, they do the same thing differently.”
3. Be a little enigmatic, users want to know.
4. Be very authentic as well as transparent with catchy ideas.
5. Make something free.
