Product Seeding
Product seeding involves giving free products and services to influential people to create buzz around new products and services. It takes several weeks or months to see results and involves identifying influential people, giving them free samples, and hoping they endorse the product organically. Alternatives to consider include social bookmarking, referral programs, product reviews, contests, and other word-of-mouth marketing tactics available on the NextBee platform.

- #5 Introduction to product seeding Product seeding is quite similar to celebrity endorsements, evangelist marketing, and is a grassroots way of planting a product so that it can be seen by important or influential people. Product seeding is a great way for new companies to create a buzz around their products and services.
- #6 Cost and timeframe Typically the only costs that you would bear are the free products and services that are given away If you decide on giving some sponsorships, then these will be an add on cost. These type of campaigns are typically not overnight solutions and you will probably need to wait for several weeks, if not months, to see the results.
- #7 Program management details This type of marketing can be extremely powerful and useful, to create interest before your product hits the market. If you can manage to attract well-known or influential people, local celebrities, musicians, sports figures, and television personalities, you can successfully use this type of campaign to heighten interest in your product.
- #8 Tips and tactics The main way to make any sort of viral campaign is to give away free samples of your product. Planning ahead in regards to scalability is also important.
- #9 Alternatives to consider Social bookmarking is a trend that has recently gained traction online, and is now being used by marketers to run low-cost and effective grassroots marketing campaigns. Social bookmarking is a way that products can be seeded on other websites, and is a growing way of creating a viral effect.
