Startup Marketing, Sales, Post-Sales
Startup Marketing, Sales, Post-Sales, Learn how to market in a frugal way by incorporating organic (zero cost marketing) and marketing automation.
Course Description
Frugality is the new mantra for Startup Success.
Whether you are self-funded or externally funded. The core values must be the same. To ensure minimal spend and maximum profits.
And without any doubt, based on my real experience I can say confidently that the biggest guzzler where Startup expenses are concerned is the Marketing Spend. Or let me be more specific, Paid Marketing Spend.
I will be quick to add here that I am not saying it is not needed. The kind of traffic and conversion boost that Paid Marketing can get, no amount of organic marketing can do the same. What is needed however, is a fine balance between Organic (Zero Cost) and Paid Marketing.
