Investopedia explains 'Trickle-Down Effect'

When the trickle down effect works, it can generate a great deal of exposure for a company in a short period of time and, in some cases, at a low cost. The trickle-down effect commonly employs social media, and an advertisement that goes viral through these channels can gain mass media coverage as a news story, giving the ad mass distribution without the costs traditionally associated with advertising through mainstream channels.
