Infectious disease.

Infectious disease.  Ok let’s get it straight Viral Marketing is not an infection, illness or disease it’s a major player in the aid of Brand building and product marketing and development.

A disease is an abnormal condition affecting the body of an organism, and to diagnose viral marketing it’s one of the new techniques to increase brand awareness.

By far the best form of marketing is by word of mouth however this can be a very slow process.  All viral marketing is doing is speeding up the process via the internet. So let’s start spreading the virus together.

 Marketing and brand building is the art of getting people to change their minds and only think of you and your products. Recommendation and word of mouth does this very slowly that’s why it’s crucial to have long term strategies for your business to build on.

Viral marketing is made up of several key components that when used in conjunction can help speed up the process.

·         TEXT and SMS messaging
·         E-mail campaigns
·         Display Advertising
·         Blogs
·         Social Media Platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Youtube)
·         Street Marketing Leaflets

So don’t think like a casualty if you want to grow your business find more customers, increase profits and build your long term brand, that’s why you should be thinking about identifying viral marketing strategies for your business and start spreading the virus around as soon as possible.
