How To Promote Any Kind Of Ghanaian Business Online
Create A Website For Your Business
After setting up a business the first thing you need to do is to set up a website and monetize it so that when people search for the products you sell, then it will appear on the search results, also optimize your website with your keywords, keywords are the terms that you will be ranked for. So assuming you sell sanitizers, then optimizing for the keyword “sanitizer” will make your website or product appear on the search results for people searching for that specific keyword.

Email marketing according to Wikipedia is the act of sending a commercial message to a group of people using email.
So setting up email marketing helps in telling your customers the new products you have, why they should come and buy from you and a lot more ways that will make them want to do business with you.
There are many email marketing services like AWeber, Get Response, Mailchimp (which is my favourite) and many more.
