Take your team out of your four cornered office and be involved with the public. Throw on a magic show, a dance mob, or an instant raffle promo at the center of your crowded parks; be bold and think of an idea that includes public participation.

You could even put up free taster at schools or malls without putting a name of your product, let your consumers name it; provide them with pen and paper with their personal details and the name they wanted for your product, hold an online voting for the most appealing name.

Be A Picasso

Choose a catchy subject to be used as your hashtag, use this as a part of your online advertisements and posts. It is like creating a highlighter on social medias, people will easily find your product or company just by searching on your used hashtags.

Surprise!

Give your consumers an element of surprise. If you are based on an office, set a customer number to be given a huge surprise. Let’s say, the 10^th customer of the day will be given 10 months of 50% discount on your services, record it and let the world know.
