Some may also think of the incremental market share that you have gained or the amount of repeat sales the inspiring data is revealing. Fair enough. All these factors truly reflect the major of success and are vitally important. But over and above all these there is something that should never be overlooked.

It’s an advertising era!

Advertising is Future Listen to that hawker howling out the names of his goods in a mysterious, strange way, so much so that it’s almost unintelligible. The idea is to rouse your curiosity and actually pull you out of your zone and get you there to at least see what’s there on the cart!

A TV spot on a national television channel, during peak vie
