I admit it. The term "viral marketing" is offensive. Call yourself a Viral Marketer and people will take two steps back. I would. "Do they have a vaccine for that yet?" you wonder. But you have to admire the virus. It has a way of living in secrecy until it is so numerous that it wins by sheer weight of numbers. It piggybacks on other hosts and uses their resources to increase its tribe. And in the right environment, it grows exponentially. A virus just replicates, again and again with geometrically increasing power, doubling with each iteration. In a few short generations, a virus population can explode:

Viral Marketing Concept:
What does a virus have to do with marketing? Viral marketing describes any strategy that encourages individuals to pass on a marketing message to others, creating the potential for exponential growth in the message's exposure and influence. Like viruses, such strategies take advantage of rapid multiplication to explode the message to thousands, to millions.

The goal of a viral marketer is to create "buzz" about a product or idea, so that the idea spreads widely. If effective, viral marketing may require very little effort on the part of the propagandist, as the recipients of the message
become the primary agents who spread it to other people.

"Free" is the most powerful word in a marketer's vocabulary. Most viral marketing programs give away valuable products or services to attract attention. Free e-mail services, free information, free Vacation contest, free 3 day-2 night site inspection, etc.. "Cheap" or "inexpensive" may generate a wave of interest, but "free" will usually do it much faster. Free attracts eyeballs. Eyeballs then see other desirable things that you are selling, and presto! You receive traffic (and a LOT of it), you earn money. Eyeballs bring valuable e-mail addresses, advertising revenue, and e-commerce sales opportunities. Give away something, sell something.

Clever viral marketing plans take advantage of common human motivations. Design a marketing strategy that builds on common motivations and behaviors for its transmission, and you have a winner: Free Vacation Contest, Videos, eCards, etc.. These products can be picked up by hundreds, and ultimately seen by hundreds of thousands of readers. XStreamCard's Viral Marketing Opportunities provide very simple and EXCITING marketing tools. Simply select an eCard, add or record a video, photo, audio and/or text message, fill out the form, and send to ALL of your friends, associates and family.

XStreamCards Viral Marketing Example: If you select a single XStreamCard (there are 3,000 to select from), add your video or audio travel message, add a text message also, with a link to your web site (added simply by filling out an eCard form), and send it to 20 of your closest friends, family, associates and customers. If each of them forwarded your eCard to 20 of their own friends, family, associates and customers, you would now have been seen by 400 qualified travel buyers (people are more likely to look at your offers, as they were sent to them by their own friends).

These 400 send your viral message to 20 of their own friends, family, associates and customers, you would now have been seen by 8,000 new customers.

These 8,000 send your viral message to 20 of their own friends, family, associates and customers, you would now have been seen by 160,000 new travel buyers.

These 160,000 send your viral message to 20 of their own friends, family, associates and customers, you would now have been seen by 3.2 MILLION new travel buyers!

Most people are social. Social scientists tell us that each person has a network of 8 to 12 people in their close network of friends, family, and associates. A person's broader network may consist of hundreds or thousands of people, depending upon her position in society. A Travel Agent, for example, may communicate regularly with hundreds of customers in a given week. Network marketers have long understood the power of these human networks. Viral marketing is popular because of the ease of executing the marketing campaign, relative low-cost (compared to direct mail), great targeting (of personal friends, family and associates), and the high and rapid response rate. The main strength of viral marketing is its ability to obtain a large number of interested people, at a low cost.

The hardest task for any company is to acquire and retain a large customer base. Through the use of the internet and the effects of e-mail advertising, the business-to-consumer (B2C) efforts have a greater impact than many other tools of marketing. Viral marketing is a technique that avoids the annoyance of spam eMail; it encourages users of a specific product or service, to tell a friend. This is recognized as a positive word-of-mouth recommendation, from a friend.
