waters first. One way of doing this is to lower the price first to gain
customer attention. You may do this in different ways such as introductory
prices, coupons, deals, and discounts. When a customer has tried your product
and proven it effective, they will be willing to buy even at a higher price.

Some food companies even offer giveaways and a free taste to
have a greater customer base. The first order of the day is to attract
customers, not to gain a wide profit. Everything else will follow if you have
loyal customers in place.
