Times have changed and seen 140 characters make a whole lot of difference compared to dated marketing tactics. Contrary to popular belief, online resources go far beyond the scope of social media – albeit still very effective. A few such resources are listed here.

Lucky for you a few business-savvy lads exploited this deficit and set up websites that keep you informed of all the deals available in almost all major stores. Promocodewatch is one such site that has cast a wide net in terms of the variety of product deals.

Content Marketing

E-commerce
Online stores are a very effective way to branch out without actually setting roots all over the world. More and more people are realizing the benefits of online shopping and as such are willing to spend the extra coin for shipping. You could either start your own online shop or have another store like Amazon sell it for you. If you wish to create your own store I would recommend Shopify. This will allow you to create it without having to pay a developer. It will take care of just about everything you’ll need to run your own online store.
Webinar/Virtual Meeting
Gone are the days where you had to postpone an important meeting as you wait for folks to travel from different branches. These days with the click of a button you can conduct a seminar or meeting with your employees as well clients. By this, I don’t mean the normal video conferencing platforms like Skype- though it still gets the job done. You can opt for online tools like Webinar-jam, GoToMeeting, and GoToWebinar. Such platforms are better suited for business teleconferencing.
