Has setting up an e mail list for your pet business been on the to-do list for ages?
I know it’s the case for many pet business owners which is why I’ve spoken to VA and Mailchimp expert Catherine Gladwyn.
Catherine had helped hundreds of small business owners get their heads around e mail marketing and taken away the overwhelm.
She works as a virtual assistant, coaches other virtual assistants, has written a book, How to Be A Virtual Assistant and has another book due out this autumn.
