Son muchos los expertos que hablan de buzz marketing, boca a oído, viral, marketing de Guerrilla, y por supuesto muchos los artículos sobre como debe construirse un viral o que definen las claves de una estrategia de buzz marketing. Sin embargo, he visto muy pocos modelos capaces de tangibilizar, explicar (en cristiano) o dar vida real a una campaña global de buzz.Por dicho motivo, me he compr

Word of mouth, is a reference to the passing of information by verbal means, especially recommendations, but also general information, in an informal, person-to-person manner. Word of mouth is typically considered a face-to-face spoken communication, although phone conversations, text messages sent via SMS and web dialogue, such as online profile pages, blog posts, message board threads, instant messages and emails are often now included in the definition of word of mouth. There is some overlap in meaning between word of mouth and the following: rumour, gossip, innuendo, and hearsay; however word of mouth is more commonly used to describe positive information being spread rather than negative, although this is not always the case.Word-of-mouth promotion, also known as buzz marketing and viral advertising, is highly valued by advertisers. It is believed that this form of communication has valuable source credibility. Research points to individuals being more inclined to believe WOMM tha

Yes its time for the old favourites to stir and this time its Buzz Marketing. Also known as Viral Marketing or Guerilla Marketing, Buzz is considered the hottest of marketing techniques. What makes it so special ? Well once you set the campaign going it is free.
Let me explain. You have something. People want it so bady and are so excited by it, they tell everyone (Xbox 360 and Google Gmail spring to mind). An alternative is that you create a short video comedy to promote a new product like the Toyota Rav4 - leave it somewhere on the internet and suddenly it gets everywhere with people downloading daily and emailing friends and family.
I think you get the picture as to how powerful this can be as a marketing tool. Buzz relies heavily on the internet and when you combine Buzz Marketing with SEO techniques, you are onto a winner or as the algorithm for 2007:
Buzz Marketing + Search Engine Optimisation = Sales (exponential)
Some students of IIM Banglore did a study on buzz marketing . They have found that buzz was most common for Technology Products (mobiles, laptops, games) and Automobiles. These categories were followed by Entertainment, Fashion Goods and Home Appliances. The rest of the categories did not have great variance.They also found that people below 35 years of age were more affected by buzz marketing in India.This indicates that buzz marketing can be effectively used for product categories that have a higher degree of customer involvement in the purchase. For the purchase more commonplace goods, buzz does not have a significant impact.Interestingly most of the buzz or viral marketing in India happens either through the net or in case of vehicles at some level through test rides and all. the sequence of chain mails in IT industry and blogs seem to be various tools of such marketing in India.An update is that the daddu protex viral marketing video has now reached India Fm broadband it also see
The marketers at Mahindra Farm Equipment realized that they had to identify and get progressive farmers and opinion leaders to interact with the brand. And, they did this by creating an event around the product that encouraged interaction. When the company launched its Mahindra Super Turbo 595DI tractor it faced the task of bringing the message of new technology and higher productivity to the target audience. It gave test rides and sold the product to opinion leaders, who used tractors over considerable periods of time. This activity was carried out in a sustained manner in Punjab, Haryana and Maharastra and as a result it has become the leading brand. Asian Paints has tried it differently in the rural markets -- not just with rural campaigns or an event, but by participating in an ongoing activity. The objective was to create ‘reference sites’ and the company achieved this by opting for high visibility spots such as the village head’s home, the Panchayat office so that these
Burger King's Subservient Chicken - Burger King's marketing program called Subservient Chicken did indeed generate a lot of word of mouth, but the word of mouth was about the marketing campaign instead of the product that was being marketed. Also, those marketing efforts which rely on being edgy or on some kind of stunt often fade quickly when the novelty or edge wears off. Finally, this type of marketing is not reproducible or sustainable since it won't be edgy the second time around.McDonald's LincolnFry - a fake blog was discovered, and it generated lots of negative word of mouth and little participation.American Express' billboard - a fake blog poster who told readers to check out a great Amex billboard was found to be an Ogilvy employee; this violation of trust resulted in massive negative word of mouth which spread around the world.
Rather than blitzing the customers with TV commercials for its new Focus subcompact, Ford Motor Co. recruited just a handful of trend setters in a few markets and gave them each a Focus to drive for six months. They were asked to be simply seen with the car and to hand out Focus-themed trinkets to anyone who expressed interest in it. For its campaign, the managers were not looking for celebrities but for common individuals who seem to influence the trend of what was cool in that season: assistants to celebrities, party planners and disk jockeys.
An oft discussed example of buzz marketing in the recent past is that used by Vespa scooters in which an unsuspecting target may notice a group of youth on attractive motorbikes at street side cafes. If one evinces interest in the sleek machines the youth are more than willing to give the details of the dealer who sells the bike. Till this moment, it is almost difficult to guess that this is part of an elaborate buzz campaign and that the youth are paid to flaunt the bikes and generate interest among the audienceThe case of Sony Ericcson and its introductory campaign for the T68i cell phone is an outstanding example of a non-intrusive campaign that generated considerable buzz for the product. The company hired actors and actresses to play tourists at popular attractions around USA such as New York's Empire State Building. These paid performers asked passersby to take their picture with the company's new T68i cell phone that offers an add-on digital camera. In doing this apparently ha
Why did crime in New York drop so suddenly in the mid–90s? How does an unknown novelist end up a bestselling author? Why is teenage smoking out of control, when everyone knows smoking kills? What makes TV shows like Sesame Street so good at teaching kids how to read? Why did Paul Revere succeed with his famous warning? In this brilliant and groundbreaking book, New Yorker writer Malcolm Gladwell looks at why major changes in our society so often happen suddenly and unexpectedly. Ideas, behavior, messages, and products, he argues, often spread like outbreaks of infectious disease. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a few fare–beaters and graffiti artists fuel a subway crime wave, or a satisfied customer fill the empty tables of a new restaurant. These are social epidemics, and the moment when they take off, when they reach their critical mass, is the Tipping Point.A must read for followers of buzz marketing
