Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter are now being used as one of the important marketing strategy by most of the people doing business online. Link as many social sites as possible to your website and let your customers “like/share/comment” louder.

- A simple Demo/Tour of your service/ work process goes a long way. It makes people understand your work better and also creates trust and faith with your clients.
- Animations and digital illustrations if created the right way helps big time. But be sure that you have it done in the best possible way before it turns out to be a disaster.
