Just a few years ago the internet was like a one-way street where a person got online simply to get information. There was no interaction, and there was no such thing as a share or a like. But as the internet evolved into the Web 2.0 world we know today interaction became the primary element. It is now a super highway running both ways with all sorts of social interactions. This is basically what drives viral marketing. The main idea behind a viral marketing campaign is to initiate social sharing of your message for you. Some experts suggest that a viral campaign will have between 500 and a 1000 times more impact than a campaign that is not viral.
Why is it called “Viral” Marketing?
When we think of a virus, we generally think of flu season. But viral marketing is a strategy which helps pass information on from person to person simulating how a virus is passed until an enormous amount of people have been in contact with it. A viral marketing message has the potential of exponential growth in terms of how many people it is exposed to or how many individuals are influenced by the message. Just like a virus, this strategy will require taking advantage of very rapid multiplication in order for the message to explode out to thousands or millions of individuals.
In the simplest of terms, digital marketing is promoting products, brands, reputation or services through one or more types of electronic media. One of the biggest advantages to using digital marketing over more traditional forms of marketing is that marketing campaigns can be analyzed in real time to see what is working and not working. A digital marketing company can monitor what is actually being viewed, how often it is viewed, as well as how long it is viewed. Through the use of digital marketing analysis, companies can even tell what types of content works or does not work and even the specifics of sales conversions. In most cases when the term digital marketing is used people think about the internet or websites, but there are also many other channels and that can be used such as wireless text messaging, mobile apps, Podcasts, electronic digital television, or mobile instant messaging.
The Difference Between Digital Marketing and Internet Marketing
Internet marketing is a form of digital marketing and they are not synonymous. Internet marketing does incorporate the use of many digital channels such as SEO, advertising or email marketing. But digital marketing goes past what just the Internet can provide and includes many other digital or electronic devices.
