Market your face masks

Introducing a custom face mask won’t suffice alone. Paying equal attention to marketing them would also count. Unless you promote your face masks across various social media platforms, emails, etc. customers won’t know that you have come up with something new.

Even permanent customers would require you to make them aware of what new you’ve got for them, not to talk of new ones.

Therefore, focusing on social media marketing and email marketing is of paramount importance.

When it comes to on-site optimization, you can write a blog or two for face masks and optimize them for high-ranking keywords around face masks. Further, you can submit guest posts and SEO articles, write a LinkedIn article announcing the launch of custom face masks, etc.

This way, you can maximize your outreach to your customers via a number of channels and strategies.
