Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) play a crucial role in
economic development, employment creation, and poverty alleviation
in South Africa and across Africa. In an increasingly dynamic and
competitive business environment, SMMEs are required to adapt their
marketing strategies to changes in technology, population dynamics,
and digital connectivity. Marketing decisions are no longer influenced
solely by product and price considerations but are shaped by broader
environmental forces such as technological advancement, demographic
trends, and increased access to mobile and internet services.
