Marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce exponential increases in brand awareness, through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of a computer virus is called as viral marketing and viral advertising. It can often be word-of-mouth delivered and enhanced online; it can harness the network effect of the Internet and can be very useful in reaching a large number of people rapidly.

Sometimes Viral marketing refers to Internet-based stealth marketing campaigns, including the use of blogs, seemingly amateur web sites, and other forms of astro turfing, designed to generate word of mouth advertising for a new product. The goal of viral marketing is to generate media coverage via "offbeat" stories worth many times more than the campaigning company's advertising budget.

The term "viral advertising" refers to the idea that people will pass on and share interesting and entertaining content; this is often sponsored by a brand, which is looking to build awareness of a product or service. These viral commercials often take the form of funny video clips, or interactive Flash games, images, and even text.

The concept of Viral marketing is popular because of the ease of executing the marketing campaign, relative low-cost (compared to direct mail), good targeting, and the high and rapid response rate. The ability to obtain a large number of interested people at a low cost is the main strength of Viral Marketing.

Acquiring and retaining a large customer base is the hardest task for any organization. Through the use of the internet and the effects of e-mail advertising, the business-to-consumer (B2C) efforts have a greater impact than many other tools of marketing. Avoiding the annoyance of spam mail, Viral Marketing encourages users of a specific product or service to tell a friend which would be a positive word-of-mouth recommendation. One of the most successful perspectives found to achieve this customer base is the integrated marketing communication IMC perspective
.
The types of viral marketing consist of:


1) Pass-along:

It can be categorized as a message which encourages the user to sends it to the other user. The crudest form of this is chain letters where a message at the bottom of the e-mail prompts the reader to forward the message.

2) Viral Marketing Strategy Undercover:

It's a form of viral message presented as a cool or unusual page, activity, or piece of news, without obvious incitements to link or pass along. In Undercover Marketing, it is not immediately apparent that anything is being marketed

3) Viral Marketing Campaign
 
Incentive viral: A reward is offered for either passing a message along or providing someone else's address. This can dramatically increase referrals. However, this is most effective when the offer requires another person to take action.

4) Viral Campaign
 
User-managed database: The online service provider provides a database to the users so they can easily create and manage their own lists of contacts. The user can also invite other members to participate in their community and from there they can also create a viral self-propagating chain of contacts that naturally grows and encourages others to sign up as well.
