Viral marketing refers to the strategies and activities that encourage the individuals (users and
non-users) to spread the marketing message to other individuals and groups within their social
network, creating an atmosphere of increased brand awareness and a buzz about the brand
online and/or offline, leading to a multi-fold growth.
To make it simple: Viral marketing is essentially a strategy to spread something (idea, message,
song, etc.) organically among the target audience, preferably through word-of-mouth.
