Our target audience is primarily women between the ages of 20 and 45. This group is greatly influenced by social media and is probably the savviest consumer of digital marketing. Most of their shopping, entertainment, and social contact is on digital platforms. Therefore, while marketing our women-centric investment app - FIKAA, we were logically drawn to claim the digital space. As a woman entrepreneur, albeit not from the same age bracket, I understood the appeal of digital marketing as its consumption is literally in your hand – your mobile device.
FIKAA—the app—is geared to empower women to be financially literate and financially independent. We are spreading awareness exclusively through Digital Marketing.

It also always helps to have feedback posted online, this goes a long way in building legitimacy for your brand, which brings potential clients to approach you. A regularly updated website keeps you on trend and clients have easy access to information, which helps convert orders faster.
