  • Use Social Media

Now that you have set up your website, one that showcases your services and portfolio – how do people get to know about it? Most of your customers are on one or more social media networks. A Facebook Page, a LinkedIn Company Page and Instagram Account is good for a start – keeping in mind that we are targeting the Kenyan market.

It is not easy to earn the trust of a Kenyan stranger. But you can easily do this if you have a portfolio. Well, if it is a new business, you can do some work for friends, family or volunteer to design for some businesses. Use that as your portfolio. Ensure that you showcase some of your best work on your website and on your social media channels.

  • Search Engine Optimization
