How do you sell more bread?
You take bread social obviously...
I stole my boyfriends cheese and pickle sandwich. I lied and said that a really big seagull swooped down and ate it

I love email
1:1
You said you like my product
I’ll email you about a new product
I’ll know if you check the site
I’ll then try and drive a conversion
If you don’t buy I can email you again
You said you like my product
I’ll send messages about everything
If you do click I don’t know
I don’t know if you bought it from me
I’ll then send you some more messages
Email is not dying
Everyone with a job has an email address
