Advertising always works if it's funny & clever. And the more it is, the more it works. But haven't we always known this ? The lesson of the Elf is that the immense viral potential of the web is still being vastly uderestimated.

The I.T. guy at the company I work for is claiming that the link to an elf yourself that I posted on the company intranet is causing us to get a ton of new spam. I don't get it. It is just a link & elfyourself did not even.ask me for an email address. I think that he is just upset at how funny he looks as an elf and made this up so that I would have to pull it. Is the anybody who has had any problems with spam due to elf yourself ? Or anybody who can confirm that what he is saying is nonsense?
Thanks

I believe the stat. There are tons of people using ElfYourself. In fact, I came across this site with Bush dancing in a funny Elf outfit. Worth checking it out: http://wikigiz.com/2007/12/...

It can backfire though. Obviously they are not set up for the volume of hits and a lot of people get stuck during the process and then have to start all over again. I am on my fourth day/countless attempt, because the children really want to send it to the grandparents. So this little gimmick might make somebody choose Staples over Office Max - since the latter will be associated with endless waiting :)

I received one of these last year and it was so catchy I sent it on to my family and friends and they also thought it incredible fun. I thought I was not taken with it but unconsciously I found myself choosing Office Max over my other options. When I finally thought about it, I was in fact "repaying" the joy they had given my folks. It works! Even if consumers are not completely cognizant of it.

You're talking through your chin, but it's still very cute.

Hey Fred - It's Gregg at JibJab.

Check out the Starring You! video we are doing with Pepsi. The pre-roll actually features the user who uploaded a head...

We're not showing the traffic on Alexa for some reason (there is usually a lag) but you can see it on Quantcast: http://www.quantcast.com/ji...

In the first week out of the gate we did more streams for the Pepsi sponsored content than the #1 comedy video on YouTube. It's a very exciting time to be playing in the world of branded entertainment.

Happy holidays!

Sure, these types of sites are incredibly viral - just the other night my wife called me over and there was our son's head dancing around.

But don't people just use these things once, tell a friend, and never return? What's the call to action besides spreading elves? Are there any statistics that show a clear link between interacting with a property and increased sales?
