Viral marketing with sheep
March 20th, 2009 by Ingrid Cliff
We have spoken before about the power of viral marketing – where someone has a great idea and films it, uploads it to video sites and then through the power of referral people share the video. If the video is great – lots of people end up watching and talking about the video.
This is one of the latest ones – where Samsung sponsored some people to make a video. It shows what can be done with sheep, some LED lights and a good idea.
Over 650,000 people have watched this video so far – imagine if that was your website and your business. What could an extra 650,000 people bring you in the way of traffic and profits?
Until next time

That is a great find. what a clever clip. I also admit to a not-so-secret fondness for sheep so you got me in the post title!

[...] While someone commented to me yesterday that these techniques really only apply to online businesses I had to disagree. Heart Harmony’s blog has a great example of how large corporations are getting in on the act. In the video shown there you can see what some creative people can come up with when given a camera, some sheep and an almost endless supply of LED lights! You can check out that viral marketing video here. [...]

Top one Ingrid. It reminds me of the “Man Cold” clip. We’ve been working on an idea for a video for adminbandit but it is still stewing.

Hi Elena
It’s amazing how viral videos can be something very simple like playing air guitar, or even just putting music to a slideshow of images. Let’s put our thinking caps on and see what we can create! You are amazingly creative so perhaps you could repurpose some of your work into a video.
