Unless you are brand new to business,
528895 023 Air Jordan 11 Retro Low Infrared 23(26), or have been under a rock for quite some time one key marketing technique (which isn’t new) is called ‘Viral’.
Based on the word ‘virus’ viral marketing or viral business simply means it ‘spreads’ like a virus.
The roots of online viral marketing really took off when Microsoft gave away free email accounts and advertised this at the end of emails,
436771 061 Air Jordan 2011 White Black Red(2). ‘Get your own free HOTMAIL account’,
616175 401 Nike Lebron 11 Gamma Blue Armory Slate Gamma Blue Light Armory Blue(5).
This spread like wild fire like a viral infection. Thus,
311832 101 Air Jordan 14 Retro White Red(5), Viral Marketing was truly born.
But this article isn’t about viral marketing,
Nike Air Foamposite Pro(2), but rather about how to effectively contain or cure a particularly bad outbreak of ‘viral reputation’.
What is a viral reputation?
Virus an infection that spreads rapidly,

Reputation,
136027 120 Air Jordan 5 Retro Fire Red White Fire Red Black(19). what others think about you.
This can either be positive or more often,
308308 001 Nike Air Jordan 2 II Retro Black Chrome(16), negative.
If you are a regular reader of my articles, you will know that I encourage the use of ‘phrases’ and ‘sayings’ to support or reinforce my point. Not one to disappoint my readers so here is another classic example.
‘Prevention is better than cure’.
In the most simple terms,
315371 161 Air Jordan Spizike White Red Green(10), this means it’s better to avoid it than go through the long, drawn out problems associated with finding the cure to the virus, In this case YOUR specific virus.
In business,
Nike Air Yeezy 2 Year Of The Snake South Beach(14), both online and off (or what I call ‘real world’ business) this can be categorised as follows:
1. Product (or service)
Whatever business you are in you are selling something. An idea,
528895 153 Air Jordan 11 Low GS Concord White Black Concord(6), a concept,
136064 120 Jordan 3 Fire Red Retro 2013 Women Size(6), a product, a service, a package, a solution. it doesn’t really matter what it is.
However,
136064 161 Nike Air Jordan 3 III Retro White Fire Red Cement Grey(17), two key principles are vital to ensure that you ‘prevent’ a negative viral reputation.
a) Ensure your product isn’t rubbish. HA! Sounds like common sense? Take a look around you in the world and see just how much trosh is for sale and compare it with something better that does the same or similar, for a similar price. Sell rubbish at your peril. People (just like you and me) HATE IT. And that’s how a ‘negative’ viral reputation begins.
b) Can your product / service prove that. "it does exactly what it says on the tin"? The ‘tin’ is proverbial meaning that a tins of beans,
Nike Air Jordan Fusion 4 Black Varsity Red Stealth(11), really is a tin of beans. If you get peas instead. you won’t be happy. Don’t claim (or over claim / over promote / over market / overemphasise / over sell) your product can do something it really can’t stand up to. If you do then you start a ‘negative’ viral reputation.
2,
414571 003 Jordan 13 Retro Black Red(27). Sales Pitch.
Or how you sell, market or promote your product. This is linked to (b) above but can be a totally separate and deadly area,
136027 142 Nike Air Jordan 5 V Retro White Sport Royal Stealth(15), if you aren’t careful.
If you are selling your product / service etc., you need to put yourself in the shoes of your potential customers. How would you react to YOUR sales pitch advertising,
402297 110 Air Jordan 1 KO High White Black Varsity Red(7), marketing, and copy? Yes it’s all about persuasion but gentle and soft persuasion. Get the customer to ‘buy in’ and don’t strong arm them or force them.
The ‘Hard Sell’ can often backfire on you, and can have long lasting consequences especially your reputation.
Don’t oversell. You must over deliver,
317274 071 Air Jordan 15 Retro Laser Black Gold(34).
Don’t over deliver to the extent that your product is lost in an exuberance of discounts,
318376 001 Air Jordan XX3 Black Red Stealth(17), special offers, bonuses and freebies.
If your product is tried and tested,
315371 101 Air Jordan Spizike White Cement(3), and really is worth the price you are asking why must you feel obliged to add extra freebies worth 100 times more?
