Here are a few marketing tips which will help your start-up in its initial stage:

Once they spread the word to more people, your products will gain more popularity and reach out to a larger group. Once, your services are appreciated, the brilliant reviews will lure more customers. This is a marketing technique which is organic and absolutely effective.
ii. Hire a marketing manager
A marketing manager might be expensive but s/he is definitely an important investment who will make your company reach new heights. Marketing managers are aware of how to spread awareness and which platforms to use to promote the company and also have a huge network which can prove to be useful.
