Noor: You look confused! Is everything alright?
Safa: I’m just thinking about advertising my products but I don’t know how to do it.
Noor: What kind of products?
Safa: Something like printing names, logos and photos on T-shirts and mugs.
Noor: Sounds interesting. Why don’t you try online business, something like activating
social media to market your products?
Safa: It might not be that useful for me. I’ve never used social media in my life and I don’t
even have any accounts!
Noor: I can guarantee you that if you have accounts in Instagram and Snapchat, many
customers will buy your products. I can help you create an account.
Safa: Really! That’s very kind of you.
Noor: No problem! Obviously, this is the best way for young people to market their
products, especially nowadays.
Safa: Okay, let’s get started then. What should I do first?
Noor: Well, first you should take some photos of your products. Believe me, when
customers see good quality photos of the products online, it convinces them to go
ahead and buy the product.
Safa: Okay I will get them ready this evening. See you then and thank you Noor.
