10 High-Impact Viral Marketing StrategiesWritten by Eugenijus
Viral Marketing is allowing people to giveaway and use your f.ree product or service in order to multiply your marketing quickly over internet. The idea behind viral marketing is that you include your ad with freebie people giveaway or use. Below are ten high impact viral marketing strategies:1. Allow people to reprint your articles on their web site, in their e-zine, newsletter, magazine or ebooks. Include your resource box and option for article reprints at bottom of each article. 2. Allow people to use any of your freebies as f.ree bonuses for products or services they sell. Include your ad on all your freebies. 3. Allow people to use your online discussion board for their own web site. Some people don't have one. Just include your banner ad at top of board. 4. Allow people to sign up for a f.ree web site on your server. Since you are giving away space, require them to include your banner ad at top of site. 5. Allow people to add their link to your f.ree web site directory. Just require that they return a link back to your web site, advertising your directory.

According to Roger Meloy of ETO ERP leader Encompix, based in Cincinnati, OH, “If you ask design engineers what an ERP system means to them, you are likely to hear something like “nothing” or “more work.” To most design engineers, an ERP system is either irrelevant or it is perceived as something that requires additional time and effort, often providing little or no value. One reason for this perception is that most ERP systems are not integrated with design engineer’s drawing tool.Traditional ERP systems were developed for repetitive, make-to-stock manufacturer, where there is a clear demarcation between design and production. In that environment engineer designs product in a CAD application. After testing and prototyping, product is released to production, which is managed by ERP system. The design engineer has little or no interaction with ERP system and works quite happily in a CAD environment. Following work of design engineer, a production engineer then creates a bill of material (BOM), based not on how product is designed but how it will be manufactured.
