Industrial Myth & Magic publishes a viral marketing how-to white paper

LITTLETON, MA — Oct 18 2007 — Industrial Myth & Magic announces the release of a white paper titled "How to start a Viral Marketing Campaign."

It's the dream of every marketer: to create a marketing environment that is self-perpetuating and inexpensive. Viral marketing is the latest "magic marketing bullet" promising to transform a dud into a winner. There are companies that will hire hoards of teenage girls to shill some new product in the hope that it will take off through simple word of mouth. "Oh Buffy, look at my new toy, squeal, squeal." Campaigns like this rarely work for teenage-centric products and not at all for industrial or commercial goods. But viral marketing actually works, if it's done right.

"Creating buzz around a product can be lots of fun when you understand why people respond," said Steve Glines, Creative Director at Industrial Myth & Magic, "Without a good story a product might as well be invisible. With a good story a product comes to life and will be treated like an old friend. It will be talked about and the story passed around. Bringing a product to life is what viral marketing is all about."

The white paper includes details of all the necessary components of a viral marketing campaign as well as detailed instructions on how to craft a viral press release. To download the white paper go to www.industrialmyth.com.
