Social media is the primary medium for viral marketing where with the right message, you can receive exponential returns on your marketing investment.

Facebook ‘Like’ Case Study :

Messages on Facebook spread from friend to friend. If my friend is a fan of Starbucks, they might ‘like’ one of their updates and I may see it in my news feed. This provides enormous marketing benefits to corporations. Friends of fans visit company websites much more often than the average Internet user. The graphic below shows that people who liked Starbucks visited Starbucks.com 418% more often than an average Internet user and friends of fans visited Starbucks.com 230% more often than an average Internet user. This shows the power of viral social media marketing.
