In the latest Kauffman Founders School videos to be released starting today, serial Internet entrepreneur Neil Patel offers practical tips to help startups develop a digital marketing strategy that drives business success.
Patel analyzes various digital marketing tactics that an entrepreneur can use to increase sales and build a customer base. Patel’s easily understandable yet sophisticated marketing advice will include tips on how to:
• Focus on one marketing tactic at a time to balance efforts between building a product and introducing a well-planned strategy
