1.0 Introduction

1.1 Introduction

Viral marketing is essential for the business organization because viral marketing helps to attract customers and raise brand awareness among the customers.  The proposed research will critically analyze the influence of viral marketing on the buying behavior of the customers in the telecom industry of the UK, where the case study is Apple Inc in the UK. The introduction chapter provides the research background, research rationale, research problem, aim and objectives of the research, and importance of the research.

1.2 Research Background

A study by IT Chimes (2017) claimed that ‘viral marketing’ is the process of marketing where the customers are stimulated to share their information about the products and services of a company through the internet. Petrescu (2016) said advertising or internet marketing which expanses like viruses is referred to as viral marketing. Marketers use viral marketing in their business through mobile devices, email and social media. Marketers promote their products and services through social media and email to attract their customers (Akdeniz, 2017). Gopalan (2016) disclosed that about 1.2 billion customers use Google and 1 billion customers use Yahoo for buying online. On the other hand, about 400 million customers use Hotmail for online purchasing. Thus, it can be said that many customers are now applying several online methods for product buying and communicating their favorite brands (Stanton, 2017). The Telecom industry including Apple uses viral marketing tools to attract its customers, and understand the buying behavior of customers.

1.3 Research rationale

As Fraile (2018) notes, viral marketing is an important strategy for the business which applies social media and online/internet to advertise products and attract their target customers. Stanton (2017) disclosed that nowadays most business organizations are applying viral marketing as a marketing tool to create relationships with their customers and understand the buying behavior of the customers. Moreover, viral marketing helps business organizations to increase brand awareness. A study by Robert (2016) disclosed that some marketers who only depend on traditional marketing tools are not able to get success in the competitive market. This is because many customers seek information about their desired products through several online tools including social media and the internet (Jiwa, 2015). Thus, it is essential for the telecom industry including Apple to use viral marketing techniques to understand the buying behavior of the customers (Patel, 2017).

1.4 Research Problem

According to Prince (2017) notes, many organizations do not understand how to successfully use viral marketing tools and face difficulties to understand the buying behavior of the customers. Wuebben (2016) said that without a suitable marketing process a business does not gain success. A study by Dudovskiy (2018) disclosed that Apple scares viral marketing because of its negative concerns. A single bad review in social media can affect customer buying behavior and the brand image of Apple. This proposed research will critically analyze the impact of viral marketing that affects the customer buying behavior in telecom industry (including Apple) of the UK, and provide suggestions to use effectively and overcome the challenges.

However, many organizations do not understand how to use viral marketing and do not get success (Prince, 2017). As a result, these organizations cannot understand the buying behavior of the customers properly (Henneberry, 2017). As a result, this proposed research is very significant to analyze the impact of viral marketing to understand the buying behavior of the customers in the telecom industry of the UK including Apple.
