Tue 26 Apr 2016 Brilliant gift, lovely looking and great packaging for good transport Thu 14 Apr 2016 A great gift, well packaged, my father was delighted. Wed 23 Mar 2016 I purchased this item from New Zealand so course have not seen it but the recipients was delighted with it. Wed 16 Mar 2016 Gift for my mum for mothers day. Very happy lady as she is a novice gardener & loves to try new things each year. Added the vine cutters as a little extra. Vines arrived in a beautiful wooden crate & because I ordered them during the winter months they were dormant and leafless but I already knew this before ordering. Came with a recipe for making wine & a booklet on how to take care of your vines. Fantastic gift & Thank You Sat 12 Mar 2016 This was a 70th birthday present and they loved it. Excellent service throughout. Sun 28 Feb 2016 Absolutely no leaves on the vine. Not what I was expecting, yet hoping for good results. Thu 25 Feb 2016 All good! Tue 23 Feb 2016 the goods were a gift but apparently were most acceptable Sat 20 Feb 2016 Really disappointing size!! Appreciate the description said they would be dormant but they were tiny and it was a bit embarrassing when the recipient opened them!! Shame there isn't a picture of the dormant vines on the website so you know what to expect. Seems it's the packaging that you are paying more for as the vines certainly aren't worth the high price tag. Sat 20 Feb 2016 not yet planted but looks trendy Sat 06 Feb 2016 Much appreciated by the birthday girl recipient! Fri 05 Feb 2016 It was a present and the recipient was thrilled and very impressed. Tue 26 Jan 2016 A fantastic idea and the present was greatly received. The present that keeps on giving. Mon 25 Jan 2016 awesome gift for those who love wine and can't maintain difficult plants. Look forward to watching these grow Tue 19 Jan 2016 Beautifully packaged and well received by recipient Wed 13 Jan 2016 Packaging was excellent, just hope they grow big. Fri 08 Jan 2016 This was a gift for my brother in law,who is extremely difficult to buy for. The packaging was great and made the vines both safe and attractive. Went down well. Thu 07 Jan 2016 Fine Wed 06 Jan 2016 Advert said free gift wrapping but it came in a cardboard box which had labels on saying 'live plants' and the suppliers logo so the surprise was somewhat spoiled for the intended recipient when the delivery was made which was disappointing. Wed 06 Jan 2016 Lovely gift, excellent packaging and delivered very quickly. Wed 06 Jan 2016 It took so long to come it is now useless The Gluttonous Gardener's response: Thanks for your feedback. Your order was dispatched for delivery on 23/12/15 but we can see that it arrived on the 24/12/15. Unfortunately courier delays can happen at busy peak times which regrettably is out of our control. We're sorry that your order wasn't received as quickly as you had hoped and totally understand the disappointment this has caused. A refund has already been issued and we are arranging for the gift to be collected and returned to us. Kind regards, The Gluttonous Gardener Wed 06 Jan 2016 Sent two crates to different people. Both have said it arrived in excellent condition with very clear instructions for storing and planting. They're both looking forward to planting out and watching the vines grow. Wed 06 Jan 2016 Great product Wed 06 Jan 2016 Shipped quickly, seems very good so far. Wed 06 Jan 2016 No comment supplied. Wed 06 Jan 2016 My wife was really pleased with her gift. Tue 05 Jan 2016 Exactly as described Tue 05 Jan 2016 Overpriced - packaging was impressive & made it appear value for money, but stripped back it was a disappointing reveal of two tiny vines. Time will tell as to how they perform. The Gluttonous Gardener's response: Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback we are incredibly sorry that you were disappointed with the gift you have ordered through us, obviously this is not how we would hope you would be feeling. A huge amount of effort and time goes into the overall gift packaging of our products so that the gift impresses even before it is opened. We always welcome customers to contact us if they are not entirely happy, we do hope however that the vines were well received and that they will be enjoyed for many years to come.

Tue 22 Dec 2015 Beautifully wrapped and very helpful when I was asking advise before purchasing. Would definitely buy again. Probably for myself this time! Sun 20 Dec 2015 Really great idea. Made a brilliant gift for 2 people who have everything Sat 19 Dec 2015 Being totally devoid of ideas fr my husband's 80th birthday I was delighted to find this item on your web page. He loves growing things - this will be a real challenge. He was loathe to open this gift as the packaging was so interesting,, however he has decided to use the crate as a plant holder so nothing will be wasted. Thank you Fri 18 Dec 2015 No comment supplied. Wed 09 Dec 2015 Was a gift/ they really liked Wed 09 Dec 2015 Outstanding product, delivery and very efficient. Fri 27 Nov 2015 Vines turned up in a broken grate with nails exposed at the top. When I rang the company they initially said they'd send a new package for the next day before ringing again to say actually they'd only send a new crate and I'd have to repackage it myself. This completely defeats the object as the point of this present is the packaging and presentation - bits were already falling off from the original broken package, it would have looked a dogs dinner had I transferred it. When I refused they begrudgingly agreed to a refund, only after they'd collected the vines from me first, leaving me out of pocket and rushing around to fine a new 50th birthday present with 12 hours notice. Poor customer service. The Gluttonous Gardener's response: Thanks for your feedback and we're sorry that your order arrived damaged. We try to ensure every package is well protected for delivery but parcels can occasionally get damaged in transit. Due to time restriction, we would not have been able to send out a replacement and collect the damaged item so we offered to send out a replacement crate without the need to collect the damaged one. As this wasn't suitable, we agreed a refund which was issued as soon as we received the item back. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Thu 26 Nov 2015 However Arrived a day earlier than requested Tue 03 Nov 2015 Excellent present for a wine enthusiast Tue 27 Oct 2015 Such a special gift Wed 14 Oct 2015 bought for my mum's 50th... she couldn't have been happier!

Fri 25 Sep 2015 Very fast service, I was a gift so I dint not see it but the receivers were extremely happy with the gift and presentation.

Delivered on the requested day and recipients were thrilled with it! Sat 19 Sep 2015 I ordered this to arrive the day before a birthday, it arrived a day after. The delivery man when it was eventually delivered complained he had too much on!!! I suggest you use somebody else to represent your company. The Gluttonous Gardener's response: Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, we are incredibly sorry that your parcel was not delivered on the day it should have been as expected. It is always disappointing for ourselves when our courier does not deliver the service we have set out to achieve, they are an extension of ourselves and we will be looking into your order in more detail with our courier.

Wed 10 Jun 2015 Fantastic gift and beautifully packaged! Wed 10 Jun 2015 The tree was delivered in good time for my partners birthday. Slightly disappointed with the personalised card.

Tue 05 May 2015 My sister was 'over the moon' with her gift. Once established it will be the 'gift that keeps on giving'. Thank you. Tue 05 May 2015 Product was great. Beautifully packaged. Good delivery. The only problem was that only half the gift message was printed on the card. So it only read happy 60th birthday Paul and it didn't say who it was from. I definitely type this in on the order. Tue 05 May 2015 Brilliant- excellent packaging and high quality product. Wed 29 Apr 2015 I think it should be made clear that the vines must be unpacked immediately - I bought these as a gift for my father but had to open as I wasn't going to see him for a couple if days - my ability to tie bows isn't as good as the person who packed it! Tue 28 Apr 2015 Bought for my boyfriend's dad's 60th Birthday. Packaging was fantastic & he loved it. The picture makes the packaging look a lot bigger than they are, but check the actual description size if this worry's you. So happy with them, great p&p all exactly on time & no damage at all. Fantastic product & would highly recommend. Mon 27 Apr 2015 All contacts with company excellent,very efficient,website easy to use. Sun 26 Apr 2015 very nicely wrapped, however I didn't realise the plants would come without pots - i.e. just little roots Luckily they were going to someone who knew exactly what to do with them!! Sat 25 Apr 2015 Perfect, it arrived with my mum on her birthday as requested and was beautifully wrapped. Very healthy looking plants too. Fri 24 Apr 2015 No comment supplied.

Sat 18 Apr 2015 Original gift. Well packaged and arrived on date requested. Thu 16 Apr 2015 A small problem with the delivery. But resolved and delivery charge was refunded. Would buy from this company again. Wed 15 Apr 2015 What a great or should I say grape gift idea. Ordered for my friends 60th birthday. He was thrilled to bits with it. So different from the other gifts he received. Tue 14 Apr 2015 Did not see product as was a gift but arrived on time in good condition and the recipient was very happy.

Sat 28 Mar 2015 Lovely product Sat 28 Mar 2015 Very very pleased with the gift and the service received from the company, there was an omission with the order and they sorted it out immediately Fri 27 Mar 2015 great product, prompt delivery and well packaged Wed 25 Mar 2015 Lovely just as advertised Fri 20 Mar 2015 The absolutely ideal present for a very good friend, who loves his wine and his gardening! Thu 19 Mar 2015 Ordered and it arrived promptly. Nice packaging but that seems to be what you pay for- product is overpriced for what you actually get. It wasn't stated on the website that it would have to be opened immediately, just on the box that arrived. Very disappointed because I would've ordered it later. Now I can't present it to my grandfather on his 80th birthday as it has already had to be opened. Please make this clearer for people on the website BEFORE they order. The Gluttonous Gardener's response: Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, we are extremely sorry that your gift arrived sooner than you had wanted it to, we do offer a text box where you can enter in your chosen delivery date, we will perhaps look to see if we can make it clearer. We do hope however that he was delighted with his gift and will enjoy it for many years to come. Kind regards The Gluttonous Gardener Thu 19 Mar 2015 No comment supplied. Wed 18 Mar 2015 Excellent Tue 17 Mar 2015 Delivered when I wanted and in great condition. Perfect present Fri 13 Mar 2015 Beautiful gift, my mum absolutely loved it. I contacted the company for some advice on the vine and they were extremely helpful Fri 06 Mar 2015 The crate arrived as arranged on my Aunts birthday - she not only loved the gift but was excited with anticipation as she unwrapped her plants as they were so beautifully packaged. I'd highly recommend this company and product as they made our day! Wed 04 Mar 2015 Lovely present, arrived very quickly. Fri 27 Feb 2015 My partner was delighted - being from the South of France he is over the moon to have vines on the garden; it reminds him if home! Excellent packaging and a great advice sheet Wed 25 Feb 2015 Brilliant! Tue 24 Feb 2015 Lovely gift in a lovely crate. Really different as well. Thank you.

Fri 06 Jun 2014 This arrived earlier than I had expected and had to stay packaged for about a week before it could be given to the recipient. However, the plants were still in excellent condition when they opened it. And sounds like the plants were robust Thu 05 Jun 2014 They were very small and one has no leaves. I expected them to be more mature. Given size of crate! Tue 03 Jun 2014 No comment supplied. Sat 31 May 2014 Brilliant gift that's just a little bit different. My mother in law loved it.

Tue 29 Apr 2014 Both red and white vine plants look in great condition. The crate packaging was absolutely lovely! All instructions included. Husband loved it. Tue 22 Apr 2014 A little disappointed with the vines when unwrapped. I should have read the small print closer as we were expecting two potted vines with leaves (as shown in the picture online) but received a couple of 'sticks' in plastic bags. However, we are sure the will soon flourish. Tue 22 Apr 2014 excellent packaging- very impressed- made a wonderful present for the man that has everything Sun 20 Apr 2014 No comment supplied.

Tue 25 Feb 2014 Top quality service, top quality gift, top quality packaging and presentation Thu 20 Feb 2014 Good present idea. I would however just add, that as I bought this for a present we did not want to open the crate even though it said on the box to open immediately because of live plants. There were no instructions on the outside of box about storage and watering in the interim time between receiving the order and it being opened as a present.

Wed 01 Jan 2014 The only problem with this gift is when you send the gift directly there are mixed messages on the outside of the packaging.

Wed 18 Dec 2013 Beautifully presented Wed 20 Nov 2013 the card arrived on time and added to the surprise, waiting for the vines Wed 30 Oct 2013 The vines appeared to be good quality and they were nicely presented, however, after doing some research they are considerably more difficult to keep that the description led me to believe. Also, it states that they can be kept indoors but we talked to staff at three different garden centres who all suggested that they be kept outdoors. Thu 24 Oct 2013 As far as I'm aware it arrived fine. Really late but it wasn't dead. Tue 22 Oct 2013 It was a birthday present for my brother and he loved it!

Thu 26 Sep 2013 Good service - unfortunately two red vines instead of one red, one white Tue 24 Sep 2013 Of course, it is early days. I will ultimately have to wait to see how it grows/whether it produces food. But service was fantastic Tue 24 Sep 2013 Probably paying more for the crate than the vines, but a really lovely gift. unfortunately the courier company didn't deliver on the date specified, however the customer service when I e.mailed was quick to respond and faultless. Thu 19 Sep 2013 No comment supplied. Sun 15 Sep 2013 Could not be happier with this product! Seller very helpful with all inquiries and the most beautiful packaging.

Wed 07 Aug 2013 Delivered when requested. Beautifully packaged. Thanks :-) Thu 01 Aug 2013 Beautiful item Wed 31 Jul 2013 No comment supplied. Fri 26 Jul 2013 The item was really nicely packaged. Exactly as described on the website. Tue 16 Jul 2013 the product was good and the delivery very fast but it was delivered 2 doors down and with no note so I had no idea where it was, meaning it didn't get to the recipient on time. Fri 12 Jul 2013 Great gift for Father's Day, my dad was very pleased to get something a bit different. He also commented on how nice the packaging was :) Thu 11 Jul 2013 lovely thoughtful gift and excellent service. Fri 05 Jul 2013 The packaging looked lovely and the seller responded promptly to my request to have it delivered by a certain date and It arrived exactly when they said it would. Perfect. Thu 04 Jul 2013 No comment supplied. Tue 02 Jul 2013 I really loved the set and it went down a treat. The only negative I have is that I thought the item was a bit misleading online as I thought it came with a bottle of wine. Also the leaflets inside were written earlier in the year so the care instructions talk about what to do in Spring which has now past. Tue 02 Jul 2013 The state of the vines were appalling, they had all shrivelled and died by the time I got them. Would not buy again especially as they were £50 for two pots of dried up roots. The Gluttonous Gardener's response: Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, I am very sorry that you were unhappy with your gift we were not aware that this was the case until this feedback had been left. We would always encourage any customer who is dissatisfied to contact us as this is the last thing we would ever want our customers to feel having purchased one of our gifts. If you would like to contact us through your order then we can look in to this for you. The vines this year are slow to get going owing to the very cold start to the year which has resulted in them being around 6 - 8 weeks behind where they should be, I can assure you however that they are perfectly healthy. Kind regards Sally The Gluttonous Gardener Mon 01 Jul 2013 This was a present for my father. They arrived in excellent condition when they were supposed to. Mon 01 Jul 2013 My dad enjoyed the gift Sun 30 Jun 2013 My husband is a really keen gardener and this product was superb. He is delighted with it, the wine and 2 plants are brilliant value for money and the packaging and product information was great. Sat 29 Jun 2013 No comment supplied.

Fri 28 Jun 2013 The delivery was excellent but one of the vines is dead with no leaves or growth at all. I have emailed but am yet to hear back. Poor service which is a real shame as the product is a great idea and beautifully packaged.

Tue 15 Jan 2013 I bought the grapevine for my sister and brother-in-law they loved it and said it was beautifully packed. I'm looking forward to my first bottle of wine from it !! Mon 14 Jan 2013 No comment supplied. Mon 14 Jan 2013 My parents really loved this for christmas. I managed to order twice by mistake and contacted the company and they were so helpful and immediately refunded me. Mon 14 Jan 2013 The images suggested that the vines would come with a plant pot 'ready to go', it was a bit embarrassing, not to mention disappointing, when they were opened (just two, vastly over packaged, sticks). I could have easily bought a wee plant pot to complete the gift if I had known - I think it was misleading. The Gluttonous Gardener's response: Thank you for your feedback we are extremely sorry you were disappointed with your gift this is obviously the completely opposite reaction we would want you to feel. At this time of year like many plants and trees the vines are dormant and so arrive leafless, we do clearly state this within the description of how the vines arrive but our apologies if this was not obvious and you missed it. The vines will burst back into fruitful life come spring, the vines ideally should be planted directly into the ground so the pots they come in in spring/summer are always just temporary.

Sat 05 Jan 2013 The pictures are very misleading as it looks like the items come in pots and already starting to grow - in reality they come in grow bags and have no growth and look a bit underwhelming.

But was disappointed to find they have received two red grapes . I will not buy or recommend you again thank you a unhappy mum sincerely sue johnson The Gluttonous Gardener's response: I am extremely sorry that you have received two red grape vines, this is incredibly unusual and I can appreciate you must have been disappointed.

And the delivery was still in time for Christmas, not to mention beautifully packaged. The vines were a gift and the recipient was thrilled.

Thu 22 Dec 2011 This is the feedback we received from the person we gave the vine to as a Christmas Present, I would definitely consider buying this for other friends and family.......'Thanks for the present. Although a traditionalist in that I don't open presents early I just went into the garden and opened yours. The lovely wrapping went on into the box with both, there's a red and white vine, plants wrapped in sacking and then in moist moss. Even the stem tops had been waxed. I've got then soaking in water over-night and think I'll plant them in large pots to start with. I'd like to find good positions in the garden (front – where it's sunniest) for them. I had a vine before but put it the wrong place and although it survived many years it never produced even those tiny, tiny grapes that look little bunches of pin-heads. I think I'll email my mate "grahamsgarden.com" to get some tips.' Wed 21 Dec 2011 No comment supplied. Wed 21 Dec 2011 No comment supplied. Tue 20 Dec 2011 Beautifully packaged. A really lovely gift.

Ever since the very first cute kitten video (or whatever else it was that went viral), individuals and marketers have been looking to post content online that attracts millions of views. Now, researchers from Stanford, Facebook and Cornell say they have developed a system, which can predict viral events up to 88 percent of the time.
The key to the research was finding patterns in "cascades," which describe videos or photos that have been shared multiple times. The problem with researching cascades, according to the researchers, was the infrequency with which they occurred. Looking at photos on Facebook, the researchers discovered that only one in 20 photos posted on the site get shared even once. Only one in 4,000 gets shared more than 500 times.
The researchers analyzed 150,000 photos from Facebook that had been shared at least five times. The names of individuals and other identifiers were removed to protect privacy. A preliminary analysis showed that there was a 50-50 chance of shares doubling at any point during a cascade.
Next, the researchers looked for variables such as the rate and speed at which photos were shared, how many networks they were posted in, etc. to identify patterns.
The best indicator of a photos "viralbility" was speed of sharing. Using this variable, researchers could correctly predict cascades 78 percent of the time.
The next best predictive factor was the structure of the cascade — how items are spread among friend networks or interest groups. This proved to be 67 percent accurate in predicting doubling when used alone.
"Even if you have the best cat picture ever, it could work for your network, but not for my boring academic friends," Jure Leskovec, assistant professor of computer science at Stanford, told Stanford News. "You have to understand your network."
After looking at several predictive criteria, the scientists were able to predict doubling almost 80 percent of the time. As photos were shared more often, the accuracy rate went up to 88 percent.
The research team on the project included Justin Cheng (Stanford), Lada Adamic and P. Alex Dow (Facebook), and Jon Kleinberg (Cornell) in addition to Prof. Leskovec. Their findings will be presented at International World Wide Web Conference.
How likely is it that marketers will get to the point where they will be able to determine if a photo or video will go viral before ever putting it online?
There doesn't appear to be any value to the study -- at least as described. You don't, or at least you shouldn't, need a study to tell you that what drives social network is a complex balance of content, speed and scale of network.
Think of it this way. If I post the coolest cat picture ever taken on Facebook, before anyone else on Earth has seen it, but I don't have any "Friends," it isn't going anywhere. Think digital tree falling in the cyberforest with nobody around.
Or, if I'm a celebrity or at least a peer leader, whatever I post is going to get re-posted, almost regardless of content.
The secret of success in any network is to understand it from the inside out. This study appears (again, at least as represented) to be yet another example of the classic outside-in approach.
When it comes to social networking an ounce of studied active participation is worth more than a pound of "objective" research.
So, the more something gets shared, the more it will be shared. Is that science? The likelihood that a piece of content posted by a brand will go viral is infinitesimally small. Marketers should focus on providing fun, informative content to consumers. If it goes viral, great. If not, consumers who do see it will have gained valuable information and made good use of their time.
The Stanford research speaks not to the characteristics of the content that goes viral but to the process of going viral. So that process involved photos posted on Facebook with variables that might predict a "doubling event" - these included rate and speed at which photos were shared and the structure of sharing across networks. So this suggests that marketers, who predominantly work on messaging and content, may need to pay more attention to the viral process and understanding their networks.
In the TED talk reference shared above, the keys for a video going viral were tapping into "tastemakers, creative participating communities, complete unexpectedness." So the last point is pure serendipity and can't be "planned," but the other two require that marketers need to attract tastemakers to the brand's social network as well as really knowing their social community.
While not as rare as hitting a grand slam in a world series game (18), or turning an unassisted triple play (only one in a world series game and 15 in major league baseball) it does require the marketer to go beyond messaging and a cute photo or video and hope for a dash of luck.

First, viral is not that new nor is the science to predict viral. This was all started about 8 years ago and marketers have been on it since to figure out how to own more space within the human mind with their messages or images. So the formula for prediction has been refined..it makes news for a week and becomes another own-the-mind weapon for retailers.
But let's take this in another direction. Why are people so bored with their lives that they are obsessed with things that go viral or are going viral? Watching YouTube, FB, etc. takes time. Some people are obsessed with looking for things like this on YouTube. Why is that? I wonder if technology has dumbed some people down to the degree that viral obsessions are addictive.
Who knows, but something is brewing here and I just cannot nail it down yet. Gut says that technology used in the wrong way is creating the lazy brain effect. I will work on a formula later to determine how lazy a persons brain is....
More soon.

This is a great article describing the new marketing methods and means to get a message out there. What is also needed is remembering just how new this technology is and how fast it is evolving. That said, research with totally new perspective and divulgence should be encouraged and explored for potential for the next several decades.
Ever since Corona attributed success to word of mouth, marketers have been trying to make it happen for them. "Going viral" is another format for generating awareness and engaging prospects. It's no surprise that searching for the winning formula is a hot topic today and for the future. Once the Holy Grail is found...well, I'm not so sure it will be found, so in the meantime, lots of studies and many articles about those studies. Experimenting will go on and every once in a while, "Eureka!"
Please note that we have been trying to find the secret to successful new product introductions. The failure rate is still above 80%. Isn't it?
If there truly was a magic formula for "virality," digital agencies all over the place would be exploiting it now. In some ways, those providers are better off if it remains at least a partial mystery.
Introducing the concept of a "cascade" of sharing is a valuable contribution to understanding this phenomenon, and it's useful to consider the mathematics of doubling and how that can cause a number to grow very rapidly. Remember the parable of the rice grains on the chessboard?
Interesting content helps a lot, of course. Apparently even commercially produced videos can hit the jackpot, if they are creative, highly emotional or push the envelope in provocative ways. Amateur content ("my cat plays trombone," or "scary bungee fail") is a hit-and-miss proposition.
But the crux of the viral effect may be sharing by a major influencer, often a celebrity whose existing social network is large and active enough to boost distribution overnight and set off the cascade. Then, if the trend gets noticed by other media (think late night TV, or the morning shows), a second wave can be triggered.
It may be tempting for content producers with resources to flat out pay celebrities to prime the viral pump. Celebs should be careful about taking the easy money, to protect their own reputations.
There is definitely value here for marketers. One word that seems to be missing from the findings of the study is "unique." As more and more videos and pictures get shared, it becomes increasingly more difficult to create unique imagery. I believe the most compelling aspect of messages going viral is to develop unique posts that people want to be a part of. Once you get your audience to participate in your own messaging, then you can start to envision true loyalty with your brand.

What's missing from this research is anything we can use to develop content to pass virally. These findings tell us how we can see if something is going to go viral after it's produced.
If this topic is of interest, I highly recommend this book from the Ehrenberg-Bass team. It has strong scientific underpinnings. One key to success with viral: paying to seed your viral content.
Anyway, a good read with excellent insight that leads to things we can use in creating viral content.
Doug Garnett, Founder & CEO, Atomic Direct
Basically, as I understand this study, it is not telling me anything that I would not have figured out myself. They are discussing the process of going viral, but not what causes it. In order to try to make something go viral, which , yes, could be very beneficial, I need to know what content aspects have the greatest trigger impact on what networks or audiences.
Some aspects we know have a pretty good shot, regardless of network involve emotion, happy endings, patriotism, etc. But at the same time, those same aspects can do just the opposite. A study about that? Now that might interest me, and that's just my 2 cents.
Lee Kent, Sharing Insights for Success in Retail, YourRetailAuthority
Every marketer wants their work to go viral. It's a form of brand and name recognition. They key may have nothing to do at all with the product or the message. It has to do with the emotional engagement or the way someone feels; sad, sentimental, cute, happy, angry, funny, etc. Typically, a company that has a the goal of a video going viral is about brand and name recognition, as apposed to a sales pitch. That said, the YouTube that Dollar Shave Club put out is all about selling razor blades, and it is hilarious. Funny sells!
