ONLINE PRESENCE: MAKE A DIFFERENCE: NETWORK A LOT: Creating and maintaining an online presence is as much important for any business as any other business promoting acts.

The only way you can achieve good branding is by selling yourself in a way that it appears unique and buyable to others. Thus, connect with your target audience through your aspirations and emotions. Just the way people connect with each other through social media, it is more likely that they would be looking for a business through social media as well and can become your potential customers.

You can start networking by creating the business profiles on famous platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Whereas, if the work relates to engaging with public/customers through infographics and visual ads, you may choose Instagram in addition.

MARKET THROUGH E-MAILS: Another very effective way to market your business is through emails. Often people consider this as a costly act, however, there are tricks you may adopt to make it less costly. Generally marketing emails over the number of 100 cost a business, however, the trick is to make emails within the limit of 100 recipients per day that remains free of cost while doing the job in a few more days but at no cost to you. More often, now there are software's available that help you with digital marketing through emails and its tactics.
SOCIAL MEDIA ADVERTISEMENT: Another low-budget business strategy in order to boost your business is of using social media advertising for your brand/company. This includes the launching of ads on Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram etc. However, this method might cost you a few bucks since it is paid. This method of advertisement may cost a little but gives maximum exposure to the ads published. This step not only adds up to the other promotional activities you carry out but also is a good way to see results in shorter time-period at a low cost. RETAIN THE EFFORTS: Now that you have made an effort to promote your business and it is turning out in favor, you ought to retain the good reputation and name through a better customer service. Without having good people to deal with your clients/customers no reputation can stand for long. Therefore, in order to have future prospects, this needs to be given great attention. A business that promotes core values is more likely to flourish and sustain the growth in the future as compared to companies with weaker values and poor customer relations. Also once the marketing starts bringing results, a good customer service can help in reducing the marketing cost further. This is due to the fact that you earned the word of mouth through great services as promised.
Thus, the marketing and business boosting doesn't necessarily have to be expensive and cost you all the capital you possess, but it takes few strategies which if rightly applied can do wonders for the business. The reputation and clients that you will have after these marketing efforts is what you earned and will stay with you in the form of a reward till the time you keep them.
