Run an exclusive, time-sensitive promotion to create urgency. Consider a free trial for your product and make sure you ask for feedback so you can always be improve your clients experience.
Reach out to friends, family, and colleagues. Ask if they’d be interested or if they know someone who could be. Word-of-mouth can get you started.
Join Facebook groups, subreddits, or other community platforms. Add a sense of authenticity by answering questions and participating in discussions. Introduce your product when you have built real relationships with people.
Collaborate with other businesses that target the same audience but aren’t direct competitors. You can cross-promote each other, host webinars, or offer joint discounts.
Reach out to small influencers in your niche. Offer your product for free in exchange for a review, testimonial, or social media shout-out.
