It’s tough going at the moment. Many businesses have seen a reduction in traffic, conversion and revenue in 2022, compared to the same periods last year.
In this meetup we will be exploring how you can encourage strong eCommerce sales during an economic downturn without compromising budget or business ethics.
We will dig into the data, and share some tried-and-tested ethical marketing and eCommerce strategies to help you weather the storm, that won’t cost the earth.
Join PushON & Atomic Smash and guest speakers for this meetup on Tuesday 22nd November starting at 6pm. Come along from 5.30pm when the doors will be open.

As always, we supply the nibbles and drinks, you supply the questions.
