The Hashtag game!
The Internet is full of free spaces to use. Creating a Twitter account is free and can create better reach. Since Twitter sets trends with their hashtags it would be good to have your presence felt in that field.

Google Places
Register your business on Google Places allows your product to be found more easily on Google search. Registering on Google Places is a simple procedure. You have to fill a form, register and then verify through the confirmation process.
Facebook it….
Considering the fact that Facebook is the most used social networking site in the world, your product’s presence on the site is a must. Your popularity increases with the number of likes and shares you receive. You can also send your customers messages through Facebook and interact with them. Facebook has a great way of letting your customers have a better view about the brand you are.
Signature mail
Another way to promote your page could be a usage of signature emails. Add the feature that adds a 3-4 line signature at the bottom which could be links to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and another social networking space you have for your product.
YouTube videos…
YouTube helps in promoting your product through the video you put up. You can yourself feature in the video and reach out to your audience easily. It will help in connect to your customers in a better way. Fashion bloggers have the most benefit of this feature as they keep uploading DIY (do it yourself) videos that help in connecting to the audience in a better way.
