Jay’s talk focused on how there are multiple ways to promote your company’s business across all platforms. One of the most effective ways is through personal contact with others. This can be done through business associations and working with nonprofits. Another way to promote your company is through telecommunication like phone, email, video communication, and using the internet to create a website for your business.
