  3. Social media marketing is very popular among the established as well as newly launched businesses but if you are using these platforms to run the paid ads then it can be super extensive. I just cannot afford this expensive method for now. But I would like to use the Heymarket bulk SMS marketing app that is very affordable. Hopefully will be able to get good results with that.
