With the help of what have been taught in a course called introduction To Advertising,I would give a tombs up 👍 to Tecno for their good work and Branding. They have not just brought in or advertised a product but everything said about the product is true and effecicient, as every advertising must be true, now they have and would have more loyal customers.
