Sex appeal is the simplest and most commonly used marketing tactic.

As one of the most expensive brands, Nike can afford to pay millions in royalties to the stars. Their tactic is that teenagers willingly imitate celebrities.

You can get away with a small budget to create a contagious video. Here's a perfect example of this.

The number of shares is very important. The more people who share your video, the more popular it becomes. Promote your videos in social media to get people to share your video. The content spreads rapidly and organically as people send images or videos to their friends and share it on their own social media networks. So it will certainly boost views and shares.  With the right marketing strategy, your investment in creation and advertising will pay off.
