    Hi Oscar, Great post there buddy. I totally agree that freebies are one of the best techniques which will help you in promoting your business.

    Awesome oscar.

    I think brochures, business cards and advertising plays an important role in the promotion of business. So, if I’m the one who would be starting a business, I would concentrate more on these factors.

    Thanks
    Regards,
    Pawan

      Easy? 🙂 It is easy when you understand the tactics and have gotten used to them. But if the other way, you have to work hard at first.

    Traditional marketing techniques still works but in order to tap all avenues, internet marketing should also be considered. For example, a business is a traditional method of networking but it must contain details like email, website and social media accounts. Combining both strategies can help you reach a wider audience.
