3 Steps of Email Marketing

Email

We aren’t specialists in email marketing, however, after years of working in marketing, we’ve picked up a few great tips.

Email marketing is an essential part of customer management for ecommerce. When a customer subscribes to your email list, they enter into a relationship with your brand.

Site Security and SEO

SEO

Do you use Google Chrome? If so, you may have noticed a really important site security change in the search algorithm that began in July 2018. When you look at the URL bar, the beginning of a website always begins with HTTP or HTTPS. What’s the difference, and why does it matter?

SEO

Heads up: it may only be September, but if you’re not already preparing your holiday content marketing strategy (and thinking about SEO!), then you’re missing out on conversion opportunities and sales. We know, we know — nobody likes to start thinking about the holidays before the fourth quarter, but consider this: In 2017, $5.03B was spent in Black Friday sales, with an astounding $2B of that spent on mobile alone! And, Cyber Monday 2017 was the biggest single online shopping day in US History, with $6.59B in sales.

With foot traffic decreasing in traditional brick and mortar stores, and with “Pre-Black Friday” sales beginning right after Halloween, it’s time to invest in a solid digital marketing strategy.
