Marketing Strategies Marketing is an integral part of making it big. You may have the ingenious product in the world, but what's the point if you can't find the market for it? Without a market, a product is as good as dead. Every small business has to engage in aggressive marketing, if it aims to reach its best potential. Most naive entrepreneurs believe that marketing takes a lot of money and it is only meant of giant business organizations. NO! 72
