Recently we just had a client increase their July and August traffic by 31% verses last year. Yes, that is right…31%. Why an increase in traffic?

To promote or not to promote? That tis’ the question
In our dealings with retailers on a daily basis we are confronted with the conundrum that is “I don’t want to run a sale but I don’t want to lose a potential sale. Can you help us accomplish this?”

Now, you would expect a young gun in the retail marketing industry to tell you that you are nuts to not sell online if you want to stay in business. Well, that is 100% true because you are not nuts if you want to stay in business.
However, if you have no intentions of continuing your business then we suggest not investing the time, energy and resources into selling online because you will fail.
