AGTA INSIGHTS
What should you focus on?

During these uncertain times, business should still never stop. If we're not able to have face-to-face interactions with our customers, then there are many things that we can do in the interim. 

If you're not on digital, then NOW IS THE TIME to get started. Whether it's creating a website, opening social media accounts, or beginning email marketing - today is the day you should start spending time creating an online presence for your brand. If you already have one, then great! The key is to make it an even better tool to communicate with your customers.

Throughout the COVID-19 outbreak, and we're all working at home, AGTA will be sending out these weekly emails to help our members get online and become more digitally savvy. Like the title of one of our favorite digital marketing podcasts, we want to make "Online Marketing Made Easy" for all of our members. Even though digital marketing can seem complex, but it doesn't have to be!

Here are some insights and articles that we have found helpful.
