The companies have also realized this and have been forced to become a player in an effective and new emerging marketing trend. Viral Marketing is the one of those trends and which uses the pre-existing social networks to produce increase in brand awareness and most often uses the media like electronic media, internet media etc ., for promoting.

Word-of-mouth marketing, viral’s forefather, has been around for ages The Internet has radically changed the concept of word-of-mouth, so much so that the term “viral marketing” was coined by venture capitalist Steve Jurvetson in 1997. The term was used to describe Hotmail’s email (one of the first free e-mail services) practice of appending advertising for themselves to outgoing mail from their users. The assumption is that if such an advertisement reaches a “susceptible” user, that user will become “infected” (i.e., sign up for an account) and can then go on to infect other susceptible users.

Viral marketing and viral advertising refer to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce increases in brand awareness, through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of pathological and computer viruses.

Viral marketing is a marketing phenomenon that facilitates and encourages people to pass along a marketing message voluntarily. Viral promotions may take the form of funny video clips, interactive Flash games, advergames, images, or even text messages.
