Advertising Strategy
It is important for Phree to have a presence on social media. As stated earlier, Phree has a Facebook page and Twitter account, but only the Facebook page is updated regularly. Also, OTM Technologies does a lot of communication through Kickstarter and Indiegogo right now because the individuals you crowdfunded for Phree visit these sites frequently to check on the progress of their investment.

Amazon is one of the largest and most established retailers, providing an immense opportunity for Phree to produce more sales and grasp more of the market
