The Three Elements Required for Successful Viral Video Campaigns Ensure that your Viral Video has great creative. If you are unsure about a videos quality, test it, internally and/or externally. Standard A/B testing will work fine. Ensure that your Video is on trend. Videos that are timely, that speak to current cultural themes, trends and items in the news will help to increase viral rate and speed. Larger cultural themes work best, if your scope is too narrow, you run the risk of being irrelevant too quickly (e.g. Swine Flu vs. DVR’s for example). Solicit support from your most loyal customers. Target high affinity customers and advocates to be involved in the campaign. You will learn many things from using your own customers, including the value and size of their social networks as well as their ability to promote effectively. Ensure you have the proper feedback loops in place for learning.
