This is with reference to the report “Productive families adopt modern marketing methods” (June 14). With the advent of modern communication techniques, owning and maintaining a business has become lot easier. People who wish to promote their businesses from home should use Facebook and Twitter to the maximum.
They can even introduce home-delivery services using Facebook or Twitter. They just need to plan everything carefully. I believe the womenfolk could help supplement their family incomes by starting small business at home. They can start cook meals and open a kitchen that could supply food on call. Just imagine the potential of this business. Secondly, women who are good at handicrafts could also introduce their products through social media and do a good business. The problem today is that most of us think that working means a 9 to 5 job. Most women rights activists want to somehow push womenfolk out of their homes in the name of so-called freedom and feminism. They should not ignore the possibilities of starting home businesses. This does not mean that I wish to see women remain confined to their homes. These are safe and productive activities. — Rafay Khan, Jubail
