Now that it is out in the open, it is time to tailor your budget to your options. An event marketing strategy, for instance, is out of your price range. With a small budget, you need to think about tactics like SEO and social media marketing. Both of these don’t cost you a penny, and they are high rankers on the pound for pound scale. Thanks to technology, it is possible to spend a small amount and still be effective.
