whoppervirgins.com was not even live when the TV kicked in. That’s one expensive spike in search volume. Anyone know if it drove any sales?

Looking to beef up your mojo this holiday season?
Burger King Corp. may have just the thing. The home of the Whopper has launched a new men’s body spray called “Flame.” The company describes the spray as “the scent of seduction with a hint of flame-broiled meat.”
The fragrance is on sale at New York City retailer Ricky’s NYC in stores and online for a limited time for $3.99.
Burger King is marketing the product through a Web site featuring a photo of its King character reclining fireside and naked but for an animal fur strategically placed to not offend.
The marketing ploy is the latest in a string of viral ad campaigns by the company.

fake whoppervirgin twitter account

it used to be domain squatting, now “bad guys” are holding brand names “hostage” on twitter, facebook, myspace, flickr, etc.
for example
100% of the uses of the “maybelline” username is NON-official

if you had a dollar to spend today, where would you spend it? on paid advertising or on social marketing? why?
Paid advertising – it’s over once it’s aired
Social Marketing
1. peers telling peers – a lot more effective and trusted by modern consumers than a paid ad
2. archived conversations – when people take social actions like rate, review, comment, recommend, and share, these actions are archived for everyone to see online (valuable to future users doing research)
3. it yields a continuously increasing stream of free traffic (enhances SEO efforts)
So whatcha gonna do?
