Viral Marketing Scripts
A viral marketing virus acts similar to a biological virus. But,
the big difference between a viral marketing virus and a cold or
flu virus is that people willingly pass the marketing message
on. The biological virus attaches itself to everything it comes
in contact with, spreading from person to person either by
touch, or air.
A Viral marketing strategy is typically low cost or even free to
implement it. Most people are amazed at the effectiveness of
viral marketing due to its exponential growth. One sure form of
viral marketing is referral marketing. Referral marketing
happens when one person refers or tells another person about
your product or service. As easy as asking your friend who is a
good Doctor, and your friend refers you to a physician. How does
someone refer their friends to a website?
