3. Proper Advertising
The most important aspect of marketing is advertising. You can always start with low budget advertising, that is, putting up posters and flyers, distributing pamphlets and news paper articles. Proceeding with these steps, you should make sure your product information reaches the customers through active social media platforms as well.
4. Price and Packaging

Try to make the packaging attractive as well as cost efficient, don’t go for too fancy packaging which will only increase your expenses.
5. Seek Reviews
In today’s consumer-led world, it is important to get reviews- positive ones will always work in your favour- but equally important is to find out what can be improved. Always be ready to work on your flaws. It may be something you need to slightly tweak that will make all the difference to it being successful or not.
