competition in the Internet based business. With so many competition and

rivalry going on, every method of marketing must be employed and utilized.

Viral Marketing Overview

Viral Marketing also known otherwise as Viral Advertising is a marketing

a media they will pass it on to their friends and family. They sponsor the

certain media, such as a cool flash game, funny video, amusing story and such,

which one may pass on to another with the company brand or logo or the

products description or any other content to help promote the company or its

product.

because they are relatively low cost. To avoid being tagged as spam mail,

viral marketing counts on the eagerness of one person to pas on the product.

If a person sees the name of the person they know as the sender, they won’t

block it and open it as well.

Many companies offer incentives such as discounts and rebates when they help

in spreading their viral marketing. They rely on the number of recipients a

viral marketing gets from one person in determining the amount or number of

incentive they can be attributed with.
