Video Marketing & Social Media - Video
Viral marketing can be applied for any kind of products and services, even news.
Therefore, you will see news organisations, not only in Thailand, but around the world, active across social-media platforms that are the most popular in each country.
In Thailand, news organisations are very active on three social forums - Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. News is fed over their timelines around the clock. People spend a lot of time grabbing information from social-media outlets, especially via smartphone.
I asked university students I teach how they consume news. Almost all said they read news that is shared on social media every day. This might represent the way the new generations get their news. That's why viral marketing is so important.
News organisations here, no matter what "platform" they use - newspapers or broadcasts or event Web-based news platforms - also use social media to reach a greater audience and build their brands. They keep distributing the news, getting in touch with communities, and receiving feedback, as well as news "clues" from crowd-sourcing.
For a clip or news to "go viral", it needs to be attractive, be inspired, and address human interests.
However, it is normal to see viral marketing campaigns put on social media with several different themes. Some are positive, some negative but all can make it.
Recently, for example, an actress posted a video clip on social media to complain about her boyfriend. This was the talk of the town for a day. Then, there were claims that her clip might be a part of a "viral marketing" push to promote her new film.
Another example involved a full-page advert about an event in a newspaper. But the advert only listed the name of the event - nothing more. Someone put this ad on social media and said it was a result of an error in the client's advertising department, which failed to submit ad artwork to the newspaper in time. Then, all that day, many people shared and shared this advert on their social networks, so many eyes saw it without any cost.
The challenge for marketers in every company, not only businesses but also news organisations, is how they can be creative to design and develop a piece of advertising, in any form, including text, photos, and video clips, to attract people's interest, to persuade them to be willing to help it "go viral" freely by simply sharing it.

Marketing via social media, the latest ad dimension

SMS marketing, also commonly known as 'text marketing' or 'text message marketing' is a modern form of marketing by which small businesses can send in-proximity consumers offers via SMS to those who want to be sent deals.
Some people are predicting the end of SMS marketing in the wake of Facebook's acquisition of WhatApp. But for most small businesses, finding the time to invest in social marketing can seem a daunting task. However by utilizing the simplicity and power of text message marketing, business owners can create SMS campaigns quickly, using technology they already know well. Not only that, its simple & affordable said Simon U. Ford, founder of Social Traffic, Inc.
Progressive businesses in hospitality and leisure industries especially, prefer text message marketing over other forms of opt-in marketing because a persons cell number rarely changes, our phones are within reach almost 24/7 these days and unlike email (which has an average open rate of less than 20%), text messages have an average open rate of 97%, says Ford.
Standard text marketing campaigns let subscribers text a keyword into your assigned number and receive a text message confirmation back. This method is used to build a customer list who you can send future text messages to. Text messages include offers to in-proximity consumers, of last minute deals and special discount coupons, event announcements or whatever else you can think of to get customers back into your store. he says.
Ford goes on to explain that SMS marketing is immediate, personal & targeted. Its also cost effective and will reach a small business owners audience no matter where they are. SMS marketing allows small business owners to gain new clients, increase sale frequency and volumes to existing clients and build brand awareness.
In 2007, Simon U. Ford was highlighted for hijacking a Google product launch; using social signals Simon outranked Googles own pages, holding positions #1 and #2 (for 9 months) in YouTube search results for Googles own product (Google Friend Connect). Seven Google developer videos ranked behind Simons in positions #3 through #10 a rare accomplishment.
