@TejDesai
According to Wikipedia…
It is the interaction of consumers and users of a product or service which serves to amplify the original marketing message,[1] a vague but positive association, excitement, or anticipation about a product or service.
Positive "buzz" is often the goal. The term refers both to the execution of the marketing technique, and the resulting goodwill that is created.
It’s a technique that attempts to make each encounter with a consumer appear to be a unique, spontaneous personal exchange of information instead of a calculated marketing pitch choreographed by a professional advertiser

THE ORIGIN
![Page 16: Viral marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/545066d7af7959bb4d8b4de7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
@TejDesai
One to Many
Make networks work in a way that ideas, messages, brand names spread rapidly without much effort.
Virulence is seductive!

ANY GUESSES, WHO THEY ARE?

@TejDesai
The reason why some
ideas turn into fads,
a song becomes a massive hit or a book by
an unknown author becomes a best-seller.

@TejDesai
SO HOW DO WE GET VIRAL DISTRIBUTION…
![Page 20: Viral marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/545066d7af7959bb4d8b4de7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
@TejDesai
“The key to making ideas spread quickly is
to find the right handful of super-influencers to
get the ball rolling”.- Malcolm Gladwell,
Best-selling Author, Speaker
Law of the Few
![Page 21: Viral marketing](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/545066d7af7959bb4d8b4de7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
@TejDesai
“Network effects are too complex to be reliably reproduced by targetting only a handful of
influential individuals. Ideas do spread virally, but how fast this
happens depends on whether or not everyone is easily infected. If
everyone is susceptible, then anyone randomly infected can start an epidemic, rather than just the highly connected few”.
- Duncan Watts, Social Scientist
Law of the Many

@TejDesai
May be both have a point…
How fast something becomes viral depends upon both
how infectious the carriers are and how susceptible the population is to
being infected.

@TejDesai
Just a few fundamentals…
• Online support/integration amplifies viralability/WOM
• Human beings are emotional animals
• We respond to emotions generated by specific cues: Leverage Humour, Absurdity, Surprise, Shock, Intrigue to name a few
• Content, like contagion spreads through Audience Networks by harnessing the links between people
• The more random the connections between social clusters, the better the chance that a piece of media will achieve super distribution.

@TejDesai
Just a few fundamentals…
• However the underlying virality is very different to traditional marketing
• It is NOT enough to merely persuade someone to pay attention
• They have to be motivated enough to risk their own personal brand by becoming your advocate!
