  Introduction and Objective: Today, in a competitive market all products have competitive advantages and it is not easy to find the difference between the products. One of the ways to achieve these differences is using methods that focus more on customers. In viral marketing, the organization sends its message to others using communication between customers. By turning the internet network of customers and subscribers into a huge machine that spreads mouth to mouth, viral marketing subjects the company to everyone. Due to its low cost, this marketing method possibly complements or even alternatives to traditional methods, especially in services and industry, and Marketers can persuade more customers and users by examining the effective factors. Therefore, this study aims to identify the factors affecting the intention of viral marketing behavior in customers and their prioritization. Methods: In this study, documentary analysis and the AHP method with fuzzy approach were used to identify and prioritize the effective factors. Findings: According to the documentary analysis results, five main categories of mouth-to-mouth marketing, customer satisfaction, loyalty programs, recipients, and viral elements are cited among the main influential factors. Each of these main criteria included a total of 30 sub-criteria. Based on the fuzzy AHP results, the loyalty programs criterion has the highest, and mouth-to-mouth marketing has the lowest final weight. Conclusion: According to the results, customer satisfaction is responsible for persuading customers to buy more from that company and showing individual viral marketing behavior. Customer loyalty programs significantly affect viral marketing intent, and their motivation for viral marketing increases when customer loyalty increases. Manuscript profile

  The influx of poor-quality Chinese goods on the one hand, and increased of production costs and financial pressure to continue domestic activities, import and export restrictions, and the difficulties of supplying the resources needed in production, on the other hand, all have led to recession and withdrawal a large number of domestic brands from Iran’s market. Unemployment of too many workers and factory closures have led marketing managers to consider and examine today's economic conditions and consumer behavior as well as examining the variety of marketing and make the conclusion that revival of some out of date brands is more economical than creating a new brand. In this research, we have tried to identify the best and most effective marketing among these marketing strategies in the revival of the brand by examining three viral, sensory and direct marketing. In fact, this research reviews the views of consumers of home appliances in Tehran based on the components of each marketing indicator: information dynamics, social relationships, trust in advertising, attitude towards advertising, sensory perception of advertising, brand loyalty, advertising flexibility and its interaction with the consumer to identify the most effective factors.
