What Is Viral Marketing?

Answer:
Viral marketing is a marketing phenomenon that facilitates and encourages people to pass on a marketing message. This method of marketing depends on a high pass-along rate from person to person. If a large percentage of recipients pass along the message to a large group of friends, the overall growth will snowball very quickly. If this doesn’t happen, however, the growth of the campaign fizzles quickly.

What is puffery?

Answer:
