Guerrilla marketing is a creative, out-of-the-box approach that businesses employ to advertise their goods or services. It encompasses various forms such as ambient marketing, which utilizes physical environments in public areas for promotional purposes. Ambush marketing capitalizes on events indirectly related to them to enhance brand visibility. In contrast, stealth marketing advertises products or services in a covert way. Viral marketing encourages people to distribute marketing messages, leading to exponential growth, while buzz marketing ignites public discurso[3] about a brand to create hype.
A subset of guerrilla marketing, street marketing, applies unconventional publicidad[2] tactics in public spaces. This strategy involves handing out leaflets, crafting animations, and organizing roadshows. The objective is to engage the target market, stimulate senses, foster closeness, and build trust.
Guerrilla marketing also merges with social media platforms for marketing digital[1] strategies, which have the potential to go viral, providing worldwide exposure. The impact of this method is substantial, with triumphant campaigns like Coca-Cola’s ‘Happiness Machine’ gaining global fame. The success of this marketing tactic underscores the potency of innovative, non-traditional advertising.
Marketing de guerrilla es un anuncio strategy in which a company uses surprise and/or unconventional interactions in order to promote a producto o servicio. It is a type of publicity. The term was popularized by Jay Conrad Levinson's 1984 book Guerrilla Marketing.
Guerrilla marketing uses multiple techniques and practices in order to establish direct contact with potential customers. One of the goals of this interaction is to cause an emotional reaction in the clients, and the ultimate goal of marketing is to induce people to remember products or brands in a different way than they might have been accustomed to.
As traditional advertising media channels—such as print, radio, televisióny direct mail—lose popularity, marketers and advertisers have felt compelled to find new strategies to convey their commercial messages to the consumer. Guerrilla marketing focuses on taking the consumer by surprise to make a dramatic impression about the product or brand. This in turn creates buzz about the product being marketed. It is a way of advertising that increases consumers' engagement with the product or service, and is designed to create a memorable experience. By creating a memorable experience, it also increases the likelihood that a consumer, or someone who interacted with the campaign, will tell their friends about the product. Thus, via boca a boca, the product or service being advertised reaches more people than initially anticipated.
Guerrilla marketing is relatively inexpensive, and focuses more on reach rather than frequency. For guerrilla campaigns to be successful, companies generally do not need to spend large amounts of money, but they need to have imagination, energy and time. Therefore, guerrilla marketing has the potential to be effective for small businesses, especially if they are competing against bigger companies.
The message to consumers is often designed to be clear and concise. This type of marketing also works on the unconscious mind, because purchasing decisions are often made by the unconscious mind. To keep the product or service in the unconscious mind requires repetition, so if a buzz is created around a product, and if it is shared amongst friends, then this mechanism enables repetition.
