4 Viral Sharing Tactics For Your Product Launch Strategy

4 Viral Sharing Tactics For Your Product Launch Strategy | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

In this article, I’ll examine a handful of ways in which companies get people to start sharing their product (aside from features that live within the tool).


...Incorporating features that make your product highly-sharable from the get-go is key. When done right, these kinds of features––such as integration with pre-existing, well-known tools and referral rewards––can contribute significantly to sustainable, long-term growth. Luckily, they are no longer seen as belonging solely to the domain of the engineering team; the rise of growth hacking has put the ball in the technical marketer’s court.


But come launch time, what you do outside of the tool in order to get people to share and talk about your product is also critical. It can give you that little extra push you need to gain initial traction and generate buzz. Plus, planning and executing these tactics is a lot of fun....

When people hire me to help them integrate social media into their marketing strategies, the first step is drafting a comprehensive document that lays out the following:

Not All Content Marketing is Created Equal: Location, Size, and Scope | Marketo

Not All Content Marketing is Created Equal: Location, Size, and Scope | Marketo | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

A one-size-fits-all content marketing strategy doesn't work. Read on to determine why location, size, and scope are critical to being effective in your unique market.

 

As marketers, we hear a lot about content marketing for all sized businesses. In the midst of the tips and how-to guides from industry experts, there’s a lot of white noise. A sound content marketing strategy is integral to a company’s online success, but a one-size-fits-all approach to content simply doesn’t fly. When it comes to content marketing, there are three major components to consider:

- Location: Do you own a brick and mortar business? Do you operate exclusively online? What if your business is a hybrid of both?

- Size: How many employees does your company have? Seven? Seven hundred? Is it just you?

- Scope: Who’s your business trying to reach? Do you consider yourself B2B? B2C? What exactly does your business do?...

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Location, size and scope are the fundamentals for your content marketing strategy. it's critical to accommodate them in your marketing strategies.
