,

I was in the middle of marketing my gadgets in my hostel when I saw a guy I know (let's call him Kunle) and I greeted him.

As we got talking, he started advising me to print fliers and paste them all over the hostel to create more awareness.

Just as he was talking, one of my coursemates (let's call him Tony) who happens to know him pretty well came along and interjected in the conversation.

Tony argued that I don't need the fliers.

He insisted that the method which I use currently - which is going from room to room to market the gadgets - was much better and more effective.

Because according to him, most people would find it easier to believe, trust and buy gadgets from someone they can see live in the flesh, rather than someone on some flier somewhere.

He even cited himself as an example that whenever he sees fliers, he never actually reads or checks checks them to buy anything from them.

And he further gave examples of people asking him whenever they needed some things instead of checking a flier of someone who sells the same thing which they have already seen.

But then Kunle defended his argument by painting a vivid picture of a scenario in which a person needed gadgets urgently -

For example if a person's earphone - or USB cord or charger - for example gets spoilt at night and he needs a new one urgently to go out the next morning.

And I don't go around to market my gadgets until evening which means there is no way he would be able to get to me.

In such a case, having my fliers around would make life much easier for the person.

All that he would have to do is just to get my number from the flier and call me or text me.

And he would easily be able to get the gadget without stress.

Both of them kept arguing for a while and made their points, but this is just a summary of what they both said.

Now here's a question for you .

Which of them do you think is correct?

Kunle?

Or Tony?

And why do you think they are right?

I want you to think about their arguments very carefully and put on your marketing-thinking cap.

I'll be reading every response, and tomorrow (today) I will tell you what I think.

With that, I'll leave you to have a good night's rest.

You're probably asleep while I am writing this.

To your digital success,
