Online Marketing: Viral Marketing
Viral marketing is a marketing phenomenon that facilitates
and encourages people to pass along a marketing
message. Or, in other words…
In the words of George Pendle, a British author and
journalist:
“If the internet can be described as a giant human
consciousness, then viral marketing is the illusion of free
will.”
