If you sell products on your eCommerce site, either using Merchr or your own products, then you understand that getting noticed online is key. Exposure is of paramount importance to succed in retail and online sales.
Going viral means sharing something online or through social media that quickly spread to millions of people, gets likes, and is re-shared. This helps to promote your business, services, or products and helps to gain more followers who can be transformed into leads.
You can leverage this with print-on-demand products that contain viral content. For example, t-shirts with a trending meme, slogan or tagline.
What Makes Content Viral?
Whilst there is no recipe or formula to going viral, there are a few things that may help. Three elements that can help make your content viral are;
Emotions – When you craft your content to elicit emotions in viewers, it’s more likely to be interacted with in terms of likes and shares. From funny, scary, love, to shocking and intrigues, are some of the emotions you can aim for in your content.
Storytelling – Content with a great storyline that is empathetic and easily connects with viewers increases the chances of your content going viral.
Visuals – The impact of great visuals on your content cannot be emphasised enough. “A picture is worth a thousand words they say”. This has been proven time and time again. Complex information can easily be simplified with the use of images and even boring information can become engaging with the use of visuals. In todays’ world, where the viewers’ attention span is shorter than ever before, visuals make it easy to pass messages across fast without the need to read long sentences. Visuals are more attention-grabbing, engaging, and cuts across many languages without the need for translation.
