interact. The key issue of all social media sites is social interaction and relationships. Check if your target group is using facebook /<br />

twitter or other networks. A key question is: How is it possible to change friends / fans into customers considering that users of social<br />

media strictly defeat online marketing activities / selling interests on their communication platforms.<br />

Press releases<br />

Key messages of press releases are announcements of the latest products/services and their benefits, building awareness and<br />

credibility of new solutions, announcement of strategic partnership deals with other companies, pre-announcement of launches and<br />

brand building. In order to optimize the outcome of the press releases they should be integrated in the search engine optimization<br />

and online marketing activities.<br />

Viral Marketing<br />

Viral Marketing is a phenomenon that facilitates and encourages people to pass along a marketing message. Viral marketing exploits<br />

existing social networks by encouraging customers to share product information with their friends and peer group. The essence<br />

of “word-of-mouth” marketing is credibility that links directly to what public relations is about. There are many viral marketing techniques,<br />

but they all depend on voluntary action. An individual must find something of enough interest and/or importance to send<br />

it voluntarily to others, and those persons must also find that idea interesting and important enough to forward it themselves. Such<br />

action is usually done without incentives.<br />

There are many media formats used for viral marketing:<br />

• Videos<br />

• Photos<br />

• Articles / tutorials<br />

• Webinars<br />

• E-Magazines<br />

• Newsletters<br />

• Podcasts (audio / video)<br />
