| Summary: | Viral marketing is the future of business as it is a way to do effective and efficient marketing. It
takes advantage of social networks by making users share with their friends about a product or service.
To combine, the trend of video marketing is rising as the most attractive advertising solution. Many
internet specialists consider video as one of the major potential ways to draw in new customers in a
genuine and true way. Viral video marketing phenomenon attracts Indonesian startups at an early stage.
In Indonesia, social media is a touchpoint for video ads Since the most used social media platform in
Indonesia is Instagram, researcher seeks to discover the phenomenon of viral video marketing in
Instagram for their new feature, reels video. Nowadays, brands create videos but are unaware of what
enables their videos to attract exponential engagement than comparable image content. Some scholars
studied the attributes of viral videos, yet none was conducted specifically for viral video marketing,
especially using Instagram platform, and in the health and beauty industry amongst Indonesian. In this
paper, researcher aims to identify the significant attributes influencing content in the health and beauty
industry and give recommendations to create viral videos for the respective industry.Using the PLS
SEM, this study investigates the relationship of viral attributes researched by five scholars towards video
virality. Namely Emotion, Content of the Message, Video Common Elements, Novelty, and
Audience-Focus. The research focus is on Indonesian consumers aged 19 to 30 who use Instagram daily
and follow 1 account in the respective industry. A total of 104 respondents were chosen. This study was
done quantitatively using an online questionnaire. From five variables analysed, researcher found elements of laughter in Video Common Elements and Novelty impacts significantly in a positive
direction. Furthermore the three other variables which are Content of the Message, Emotion, and
Audience Focus have no significant influence on virality. It is recommended for health and beauty
businesses to create new, unusual, and surprising video content with humour inside rather than the usual
information-heavy or useful videos. Hopefully this research could help businesses and marketers to
communicate and implement viral attributes through the understanding of the relationship between video
attributes and virality.
