Hey, to better understand viral marketing, I almost forgot there is a classic example that we must talk about…… is the Hotmail.com, one of the first free Web-based e-mail services.

Viral Marketing SPD4290 Example - Hotmail 1

Did you sign up your first email with Hotmail.com? I think the majority of us..

The strategy of hotmail is very simple, there are 6 stages, let’s talks about the first 3 :

  1. Hotmail give away free e-mail addresses to people to communicate through the Internet and to send / received files and visuals.
  2. Hotmail will attach a simple tag at the bottom of every free message sent out: "Get your private, free email at http://www.hotmail.com". This way, they can advertise for free and create WOM, they also use the term “free” to attract people.
  3. In the back end, Hotmail staff will stand back while people e-mail to their own network of friends and associate.
Have you ever realize that from long long time ago viral marketing was already being used through digital, want to know the rest of how Hotmail managed viral marketing? Come back and check out tomorrow!!
