In addition to creating a consumer aversion for a specific product category, this technique's success relies on creating a conflict between the interests of the targeted entity and the distributors of its output. We call it viral labeling. http://sites.google.com/site/multitude2008/Home/organize-efficient-boycott-campaigns The viral labeling is the first boycott technique that successfully combines online (virtual) and real life activities. To our knowledge, it is also the first scheme that effectively uses the distributor and reinforces the position of competitors. If you decide to use viral labeling please send us feedback, as we will continue to improve this method.
