I have seen many articles discussing the use of internet products and services as the business model. But how can this work with a physical product. Can you refer me to information in this regard?<br /> I think with a compelling story and a product that supports that story, a viral loop would be an excellent method of expanding one's customer base.</p> <p>Thanks, phlyman</p> I am interested in learning how to use viral loops with durable goods marketing on the internet.

I think with a compelling story and a product that supports that story, a viral loop would be an excellent method of expanding one’s customer base.

Some new users might get caught in this trap. But if you're product doesn't cut it, eventually, that leaky bucket is going to catch up with your viral expansion.<br /> For eg, Facebook is great product, so you want to tell other people about it. As is the case with Apple products.</p> I also think that people have become smarter than just giving you access to their address book without really trying out a product.

Ipod and Iphone are great examples of offline viral marketing. You'd think it'd be harder to go viral without an online component. But there it is: people love them, they look cool, and lots of people want them.</p> Echo the previous comment. Ipod and Iphone are great examples of offline viral marketing.

not even 24 hours ago, was just thinking about it the same way: “ok, so let’s assume that you already got the app because you discovered it from a friend…”

felt exactly like the setup for inductive proof. i couldn’t remember the exact term until you mentioned it, but i was thinking “something about this feels like math proofs or recursion… hmmm”
