Repeat after me…sharing is fun.

September 22nd, 2008 by Edward Dron

Carnival GameHow much time does the average marketer spends on the sharing aspect of a viral marketing campaign? I’m willing to bet that it’s not that much.

Unfortunately, neglecting this part of your campaign can stifle even the most creative concept. Even if you tapped into one of the 11 reasons of why ideas spread, you still need to overcome one major barrier: the cumbersome task of spreading the word.

However, what if the task of sharing was actually entertaining?

What if the task was transformed into a game? What if there was a payoff everytime you told a friend? What if the act of sharing was as viral as the main ideavirus?
