Be Clear About Price In Your Campaign

A couple of years ago I was going to buy a new car.

It was then a visit to see … READ MORE »

Use Humour More Frequently In Email Marketing

It was rag week at a London teaching hospital and the behaviour of the student doctors encouraged you to avoid entering hospital unless absolutely necessary. One particular jape consisted of a skeleton tied to an automatic traffic signal, thumbing for a lift with a piece of cardboard reading Timbuktu around its neck. It caused traffic … READ MORE »

Changes To Subject Access Requests

Email marketing lists are the key to success in our business, but with them comes responsibilities which must be complied with under threat of legal penalty.

Post Brexit Changes To Email Marketing?

Having downtime due to lockdown, I did my annual clear-out of emails and documents I had saved over the past three years.

Customers Can Relate To Realism

Some years ago, too many to count, I had a girlfriend who was, oh so many suggested, out of my league. When I introduced her to my father he said that there was obviously more to me that he’d discovered. Still, the attack on my self-confidence was a small price to pay. Her smile is … READ MORE »

Will The High Street Ever Recover?

It would seem that most consumers feel that the high street has changed for ever and it will not return to what it was pre-Covid-19.
