Email for Marketing — Why it is still a great tool for your business

Using email for marketing is still very much in use. Sceptical? With the floods of spam and junk mail everyone is constantly receiving, it could easily seem like a waste of effort.

Keeping the above in mind, would you believe it, if we said that 50% of customers actually like receiving brand emails? This means POPIA is actually doing you a favour and helping you separate those that wish to engage with you, from those who don’t. It seems as if email has become the red wine of marketing tools.

Yet, in the world of online shopping nearly 70% of shoppers leave their carts deserted. Why is that? Often: Customers aren’t ready to commit to buying at that moment. They find the full total plus delivery more expensive than they anticipated. The checkout process was too long, or time-consuming. They first need to obtain approval from a spouse, or parent.

Tips to Getting Started with a Side Hustle

Resourceful, go-getting personalities across the country are dipping their little toes into the entrepreneurial pool by starting a side hustle.
