Electronic word of mouth (eWOM) on products and services is getting more important in consumer behavior as well as marketing communication. Regarding the issue, marketing and consumer scholars have conducted research on eWOM message senders and recipients. Focusing on eWOM receiving behavior, this chapter presents academic knowledge regarding how recipients evaluate mobile e-WOM messages and how he/she behaves as a consequence. There are two kinds of eWOM (i.e., PC-based eWOM and mobile-based eWOM [mWOM]). Moreover, two types of messages can be identified in each kind of eWOM—viral messages from marketers via friends and relatives, and eWOM reviews on products and services from anonymous senders. Prior studies on viral marketing can be further divided into two research streams; research that have constructed and tested causal models explaining why consumers participate in viral marketing, and research that have focused on illustrating comprehensively a multi-stage cognitive and behavioral customer journey towards receiving, using, and forwarding viral marketing messages.

As mobile phones become more widely utilized, mobile-based electronic word-of-mouth (mWOM) on products and services is becoming an increasingly important factor in consumer behavior, as well as marketing communication. Regarding this issue, marketing and consumer scholars have conducted research on mWOM message-senders and recipients. Focusing on mWOM receiving behavior, this article presents academic knowledge regarding how recipients evaluate mobile eWOM messages and how they behaves as a result. Two streams can be identified in this research area: 1), mobile viral messages from marketers via friends and relatives, and 2) mWOM reviews on products and services from anonymous senders. The former can be further divided into two streams: a) research that has constructed and tested causal models explaining why consumers participate in mobile viral marketing, and b) research that has focused on illustrating comprehensively a multi-stage cognitive and behavioral customer journey towards receiving, using, and forwarding mobile viral marketing messages.

Social media platforms have become a major forum for consumers to interact with firms and other individuals. Drawing on both the customer-dominant logic and the theory of planned behavior, the present chapter aims to advance understanding and encourage research on the variables that drive consumers' online purchase intention. Al though there is a general agreement in recognizing the importance of social media platforms as a source of information about consumer behavior, a complete theorization of the variables that affect the relation between behavioral intention and online purchase intention is still lacking. The proposed theoretical model is an extension of the theory of planned behavior and incorporates trust and electronic word-of-mouth communication as part of the customers' online purchase intention. Finally, the theoretical and managerial implications are further discussed.

Marketing has evolved from the concept of marketing 1.0 to 4.0 so that to learn what is needed and wanted by consumers, marketers must be able to have policies using appropriate communication so that various information about products can be transferred to consumers. For this reason, it is necessary to better understand communication, especially marketing communication in terms of shaping consumer behavior. The purpose of this article is to provide insight in the field of marketing communication. This research methodology is a literature study from several journals that discusses marketing communication. The existence of communication can make it easier for someone to interact between one individual with another individual. Without communication there is no human life process. That is, every human being needs communication to exchange ideas in order to realize what he wants. Three major marketing shifts, marked by product-driven marketing in the later 1.0 era towards customer-centered marketing in the 2.0 era. Human-centered marketing existed in the 3.0 era. On the other hand, marketing communication tools can be in the form of advertisements, sales, signage, shops, displays, packaging, free product samples, coupons, giveaway and more. As for changing consumer behavior that is increasingly developing, the impact of marketing 4.0 also results in viral marketing through social networks such as Facebook enabling continuous two-way interactivity from anywhere and at any time.

Abstract In a viral marketing campaign organizations stimulate customers to forward marketing messages to their contacts. To optimize a viral campaign it is necessary to predict how many customers will be reached, how this reach evolves, and how it depends on promotion activities. a new Viral Branching model can provide these results. It is based on insights from epidemiology and the spread of viruses and was adapted to a marketing context and an electronic environment. The model is applied to an actual viral marketing campaign in which over 200,000 customers participated during a six-week period. The results show that the model quickly predicts the actual reach of the campaign and serves as a valuable tool to support marketing decisions related to online campaigns

Penelitian ini adalah penelitian yang bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektifitas viral marketing dalam meningkatkan niat dan keputusan pembelian konsumen di era digital. Viral marketing adalah strategi pemasaran yang digunakan dengan berbasis metode pemasaran online yang mendorong individu untuk menyampaikan pesan pemasaran mengenai suatu produk atau layanan jasa kepada individu lainnya dimana akan menciptakan potensi pertumbuhan eksponensial dalam paparan dan pengaruh pesan. Viral marketing juga disebut sebagai electronic Word of Mouth Marketing dan jaringan social. Meskipun viral marketing memberikan peluang yang cukup besar dalam pemasaran, tetapi dalam praktiknya tidak jarang banyak perusahaan yang mengalami kegagalan untuk mempengaruhi niat dan keputusan pembelian konsumen di era digital serta tidak dapat mencapai efektifitas dalam penerapan viral marketing. Hal ini disebabkan oleh berbagai ketidakpastian yang mungkin saja hadir dalam proses viral marketing karena berbagai faktor di lingkungan online, serta banyaknya faktor-faktor dari viral marketing yang jika tidak dipilah dengan baik justru tidak mendatangkan efektifitas dalam pemasarannya. Beberapa permasalahan, faktor-faktor, serta bagian lain dari viral marketing perlu dikaji lebih jelas lagi untuk mendatangkan efektifitas dalam meningkatkan niat dan keputusan pembelian konsumen. Sehingga ada beberapa hal yang diukur untuk menentukan dan mencapai efektifitas viral marketing, diantara ada prediktor viral marketing, tingkat efektifitas viral marketing, faktor-faktor penentu keberhasilan viral marketing, dan campaign seed viral marketing.
