PROMOTION
Our marketing includes mixed methods such as PR, advertising, social media, and more. All Blaq Everythang uses all marketing efforts in order to spread the word, invite the public thereby increasing opportunities for success at each marketplace. We create flyers, and market with publications, apps, local news media, and word of mouth. We also rely on the vendors to promote to their fans as well- it takes a village.
