Does a street vendor need social media to promote their business?

[Fidelia]

There are so many people that deal with so many products on the he streets. Ranging from food, clothes and other household items, these street vendors are vital part of the business landscape.

Does a street vendor really have to advertise his or her business on social media? If yes, how?

For me l think that they really don't need social media marketing to boost the sales for their business because they work on a single cluster of customers in a given area.

It's also feasible for a street vendor to promote her business on media especially on Facebook. She could have friends in the community where she lives who might know her business. It's not hard to try it.

The street vendor business is viable only to the offline community in within the vicinity for sure. The business may not be lucratively enough to pay for digital marketing services

For me l think that street vendors should go in the over populated areas for them to make more sales rather than using the social media to promote their businesses online

It depends on the street vendor, using social media would definitely be an added advantage. I came across one online some weeks back, and she is actually making waves as she became popular but she is a street vendor.

A street vendor would be able to get orders from other locations around the city if they have social media presence.

Yes, Platforms like Facebook and Instagram can help vendors showcase their products and attract customers to buy even offline.
