Marketing on a small budget can either be what takes a business places or what stops it growth. It all depends on the manner of approach to the problem and the dedication and consistency with which things are done.

These days, it's very easy to do marketing because of social media platforms, forums and the internet. Take Facebook for example, you can use Facebook groups or marketplaces to advertise your product for free. You can also use a small amount of money, as low as $1 to star an advertising campaign. The same ad can be shown on Instagram, and other affiliated places.

You can also get creative with your marketing offline. You can create fliers yourself for free, or create small free gifts that cost literally nothing to attract customers to yourself. Word of mouth is also more effective as family and friends can spread word through their status on Whatsapp, Facebook and TikTok.
