When it comes to running a startup business, your main focus should be spreading brand awareness. According to Forbes, about 90% of all startups fail within their first few years. There are many reasons why a startup could fail. Too many to name here, in fact. But one of the mail reasons startups fail so often is because they spend all their money on bad marketing that gets them nowhere. A great way to save money while marketing your business is to use social media platforms. This allows you to appeal to, and build loyalty among, your intended target audiences for free.
