Guerilla marketing

[FreeAgent]

Guerilla marketing produces high returns on marketing investment through unconventional activities. Guerilla marketing can be used to employ original marketing strategies of a non-traditional nature.

Guerilla marketing experts know they can build businesses by putting their resources to work for them as opposed to their money. They achieve conventional goals by using unconventional Guerilla marketing methods, utilizing creativity and innovative thinking to create marketing techniques that drive business at a reduced cost.

I am a firm believer in Guerilla marketing tactics. Most of my methods are seen as super unconventional some even say evil. I just recently deployed my Guerilla progs for a small debt consolidation company out a Tampa, FL. Within one month they have already tripled their sales. Evil or not my tactics are still make them and myself lots of money.

Does anyone else here use Guerilla marketing tactics?

I'm not too sure what kind of things that may include. Could you specify.

Before I go any further into detail I would just like to note that I never sold, or made any Guerilla tools throw any company I have worked for. I all my work has been done at home on my own time.

Ok now with that out of the way I will continue...

The most common Guerilla tool I make is for web sites with inhouse messaging. For example I will use www.myspace.com. The first thing I would do is create an account. After creating an account I would go to their messaging pages and look over their code. After I get a good idea of how their code works I would use vb to replicate their messaging system, and add in some looping scripts.

Show in a nut shell this is what the program would do....

You would open up the prog and login to your account. The you would open the message.txt file and add some random message (spam). After adding you messages you would save and close the message.txt file. At the top of the prog it would ask you for a start and stop member id number. After you type in your start and stop id's you would click the start button. The prog would then send out random messages every member inbetween the start and stop id's.

Here is the source code for a messanger that would work for www.myspace.com. I am not posting the global file code needed to run this prog for security purposes.

This code is for educational purposes only! Do not use this code!

Private Sub cmdGo_Click()
On Error GoTo run_err

Dim lngFrom As Long
Dim lngTo As Long

lngFrom = CLng(txtS.Text) * -1
lngTo = CLng(txtE.Text) * -1

' Spamming Time
Dim a As Long, token As String, msg As MessageType
Dim doc As HTMLDocument
token = GetQuerystringValue(web.LocationURL, "mytoken") ' security crap
For a = lngFrom To lngTo
Me.Caption = "Sending to ID # " & a * -1
Set doc = getDoc("http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=mail.message&friendID=" & CStr(a * -1) & "&mytoken=" & token, web)
msg = GetRandomMessage()
With doc.Forms(1)
.Item("subject").Value = msg.Subject
.Item("body").Value = msg.Message
.Item(7).Click
WaitUntilDone web
End With
DoEvents
Next a
Exit Sub
run_err:
Err.Clear
Resume Next
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
web.navigate "http://www.myspace.com"
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
End
End Sub

I hope this is a good example for you. If you want I can post some more examples of other types of Guerilla tools I have made.

haha nice spam post above, this must be a high PR thread because I saw it had 3 replies and over 2,500 views. But anyways I use guerrilla marketing a lot posting on message boards and posting comments on blogs to get opinions swayed or even link baiting could be considered a guerrilla tactic.

DP is a message board, people discuss and sometimes help people. Lately people get on here and want people to hold their hand and consult people through every detail of how to do something and write out whole pages. Google has plenty of information on it available through multiple websites. All you need to do is teach yourself how to do things with hard work and learning or just pay up and get people who already took the time to learn to do it. You can find those people in the services section of DP or you can do a search for what you need.

I must admit this quite a good pull up, I have never seen such an old post so randomly resurrected. Since this is your second post, Welcome to Digital Point Forums! :)

Would you class spoofing as a guerilla tactic? Better PR opps are guerilla in my opinion but they're offline (in the real world) they have to be unique to gain media attention.
