Ways to effectively carry out marketing

For instance, you can ask the people close to you to help you spread information of the product to their friends, a technique that has proven to work from time to time. Take this example for instance, you ask your brother or fried to tell his/her friends about your web design business. One of the friends goes somewhere and finds a person who needs a website, and refers them to you. It might not seem like a significant marketing strategy but it has shown that it does create an awesome environment where a business can reach new customers.
Encourage referrals
