Why is Viral Marketing important why how value Differentiation Tell a story Viral Campaigns ROI Higher reach Surprise the audience YouTube vs. Google More credibility Create an emotion YouTube vs. TV Higher involvement Engage people Value of Viral Effect Better ROI Make sequels Key Metrics
Opportunity for differentiation • Consumers are exposed to an insane number of commercial impacts • Every day it is more difficult to grab the attention of our target customers • The efficiency of traditional marketing techniques decreases
reach a large audience • Word Of Mouth is nothing new of this era of the Internet traditional approach viral approach • But the web is becoming social and people are highly connected on social networks • This amplifies the reach and speed of the diffusion of viral messages
more credibility and relevance • Consumers have developed a negative attitude towards traditional advertising • People trust other people. 78% of people don’t trust advertising • In viral marketing the message comes with the endorsement of a trusted friend
Better return on investment • Viral marketing is not free; some kind of promotion is necessary to raise awareness about the campaign • Once a critical mass is reached the message gets spread virally (for free) • The higher the viral effect, the better the ROI of the campaign
Higher engagement • In viral marketing users take an active role: watch, comment, like, share • In some cases they even create content or suggest new videos to be produced • Thus the % of targeted audience that remembers the brand is higher than in mass media
How to earn the attention why how value Differentiation Tell a story Viral Campaigns ROI Higher reach Surprise the audience YouTube vs. Google More credibility Create an emotion YouTube vs. TV Higher involvement Engage people Value of Viral Effect Better ROI Make sequels Key Metrics
It’s all about a good story • You don’t control the distribution of the message that is sent from friends to friends • To encourage the pass-along rate it is important that your video does not sound like an add • The product or brand might appear explicitly but within a story
Do something unexpected • To earn the attention of users you need to surprise people • Never repeat something just because it worked in the past; leverage the novelty effect • Example: the tippex campaign surprises when the hunter goes out of the video and grab a tippex
Create an emotion • To be memorable and forwarded the message needs to raise an emotion • The emotion might be humor, play the absurd, a fake-or-real situation… • Or the emotion might be terror or something controversial
Make sequels • If you happen to find a creative concept that gets viral you’ve got a golden mine • Don’t just do a one-shot viral but make sequels to amplify the effect of the campaign over time • You can do a making off (Mixta), blend different objects or play with many different verbs (tippex)
Engage people • Allow sharing, embedding and downloading • Ask people to suggest new videos or create their own ones • Not only they will bring fresh ideas but will also become ambassadors of your campaign
