b.  Scale-up: Scaling-up means growing your  business  by attracting  more customers. There are a variety  of ways
                  companies can reach out to more customers. One such path is to go to different geographical locations where you
                  can find new customers. For example, sell tea in various markets, office locations where many people work, rather
                  than in any highly competitive market.
              c.   Offer Alternatives: Another way to grow your business is to provide some offers to your customers. Alternatives
                  mean products and services similar to the ones already in the market. For example, selling phone covers with mobile
                  phones.
