Viral Marketing
Viral Marketing is any online marketing technique that encourages Internet users to pass on a marketing message to other users, creating a potentially exponential growth in the message's visibility and effect.
Viral Marketing is an attractive promotion technique used by many businesses since it costs very little to execute and yet it can deliver results in a very short period of time.
Viral Marketing methods include "refer-a-friend", "pass-it-on", "send-an-article", ecards, ebook distribution, video email, and many more. In partnership with Stir, the viral Internet marketing experts at ViralBuzz can implement Viral Marketing strategy for any web site or promotional campaign.
A well known example of successful Viral Email Marketing is Hotmail, a company, now owned by Microsoft, that promotes its email service and its own advertisers' messages at the end of every Hotmail user's e-mail notes.
