They can write reviews on your website or on your social media business pages such as Facebook. This gives prospective buyers a good impression of your brand.
- Picture Contest: This creates a lot of exposure for your brand. An Instagram contest is a preferable choice. It involves telling your customers to post a picture of them using your brand, like your business page, tag their friends, and tell them to like your page too and schedule duration for the contest. The picture with the highest likes wins a prize. This will cause traffic to your page and attract potential customers.
