Their products were excellent, and their prices were also amazing because they were the manufacturers themselves. They also had a very good marketing budget, but their sales were very
[00:19] modest. So I started working on marketing. I reviewed and targeting. I built a marketing funnel from awareness to repeat business. Then I launched the campaign with complete
[00:32] repeat business. Then I launched the campaign with complete confidence. But after a week, I was shocked to find that there was no improvement; sales were still weak.

[01:26] to access the website. But of course, most customers didn't know they needed to refresh, and most of them didn't care and weren't really keen on buying from this particular store. So, naturally, they would immediately leave this site and go
[01:39] to another competitor. After we solved this problem, there was a huge jump in sales. problem, there was a huge jump in sales.
