Make use of social media
Almost everyone is using social media platforms: Facebook, Linkedln, Twitter, StumbleUpon, and Google+. By properly making use the platforms you will not only save much of your marketing budget, you will also have the ability of reaching millions of your target customers.
To be successful on social media you need to be regular and consistent. There is no way you will build a voice if you post once a week or a month.
While it’s recommended that you post regularly, you shouldn’t over do it. Social media experts recommend that you should post 5 times a day on Twitter, 5-10 times a week on Facebook, and once a day on Google+ and Linkedln.

The best way of going about it is mixing valuable information (that adds value to your followers) and a little bit of promotional information. Remember: to keep your followers you need to provide value.

The current trends have been the use of videos, animations and inforgraphics. Ensure that they are of high quality and different. If you can’t produce them yourself, hire a professional to help you out.
You can hire an agency to help you out, but if you are strapped for cash, use freelance sites such as Elance, Fiverr and freelancer. These sites have plenty of talented professionals that will give you great content at affordable prices.
Conclusion
