Congrats to Jon Allen for winning the Golf Ball Drop Raffle!
Last month the Nampa Rotary Club held the Golf for Hope tournament to raise funds for area Treasure Valley youth programs and the Hope House. Thank you to our community—we raised around $20,000! Local TV stations featured the hundreds of golf balls we dropped from a helicopter onto a target. The closest ball to the target won.

Viral Marketing Defined
[The following is an excerpt from “Zen and the Art of Viral Marketing,” by Jason Miller WebProNews Insider Report: July 7, 2005 ]Six elements of a successful viral marketing strategy:
1. Give away products or services
2. Provide for effortless transfer to others (i.e., easily emailed, linked, or downloaded)
3. Scale easily from small to very large (popularity drives success)
4. Exploit common motivations and behaviors (i.e., funny content motivates people to share with others)
5. Utilize existing communication networks
6. Take advantage of others’ resources (people become the medium, free of charge)
Examples Of Others Using Viral Marketing:
Budweiser Anheuser-Busch hired Jib Jab’s Gregg and Evan Spiridellis, the creators of the web-phenom “This Land,” an animated spoof of the 2004 presidential candidates, to develop entertaining content for Budweiser’s website (a concept called “advertainment”). “This Land” was seen by an estimated 80 million web viewers and was fueled further by being picked up by the Today Show and others.
The Blair Witch Project— All the buzz around the famous motion picture “The Blair Witch Project” originated from a simple Internet rumor that the movie was not fiction, it was actual footage of college film students who were killed in the woods by the Blair Witch ghost. The return on investment was huge.
There are numerous ways to get the word out about your company through the concept of viral marketing. You just have to be creative enough to make it work. It doesn’t take a lot of money; it doesn’t take “in your face” advertising. It takes enough likeability to get viewers to do the work for you by spreading the news around. Chances are you have enough contacts in your own database to get things going. Peppershock can help create this clever form of marketing through the use of our video, media production and marketing services. Contact us.
