POWER OF TALKING (WORD OF MOUTH)

Word of mouth is one of the most powerful tools for advertising your product. As a female entrepreneur who likes what she does, I want to tell you that nobody can love your product the way you do. The first tip for you to market that product is by telling people about your product “ being Your own Marketer “. I believe when you tell people (friends, family, siblings, neighbours etc) around you about your product, someday they will patronize and refer others to you. Remember, these people are your first customers. They give you testimonies and tell others about your product if the services rendered to them are good. Don’t stop talking.

As a female entrepreneur, you can make use of this opportunity by promoting your products on the internet. Different social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp etc) have their specific purposes. Just identify where best your customers are on these social media platforms and start pitching your tent there.
