The Fundamentals Of Marketing
Marketing is about sending the right message of your products and services to the right people at the right time.Final Goal of marketing is to increase sales and revenue.
Before creating a product and service, understand the needs of your customer well.So that when you will launch your product it will sell itself.Your product and service should be a quality one.Otherwise you will lose trust.
