Using E-Mail to Achieve
Objectives
Viral marketing is
an integral part of a campaign strategy that is used to achieve objectives. It
is not the objective itself. If the main objective of an e-mail campaign is
branding, in order to achieve greater branding success exposure you craft your
message or offer in a way that it encourages pass-along.
Producing a
message with a quality offer or an incentive for pass-along is what viral
marketing is all about.
Just suggesting that e-mail recipients forward
your message to their friends and relatives is not viral marketing. A message
at the bottom of your e-mail that reads Feel free to forward this message
to a friend is nowhere close to viral marketing at its best.
On
the other hand, if something worthy of sharing, such as a valuable discount,
vital information, additional entries into a sweepstakes, an added discount or
premium service, a joke/cartoon, or a hilarious video, is included in the
e-mail, viral marketing happens naturally and quite successfully.
The
bottom line is that your message must be perceived as having value. Relevant or
timely information, research, or studies are all good examples of content that
might be viewed as potential pass-along material. Interactive content like a
quiz or text can inspire forwarding, especially if it is fun. Personality
tests, fitness quizzes, or compatibility questionnaires are all things that
have been passed on by many people many times. Why? Because they are
entertaining and entertainment has value.
A multimedia experience is
always going to achieve some pass-along. Someone is always touting the
benefits. It is a bit more of a time and money investment but the messages have
a great appeal and rich media has the advantage of being new. The tech factor
alone is often enough for the message to be perceived as valuable.
