You’ve probably heard us talk about automation before but have you thought about how it can help your business? Maybe you need some examples to understand how it could save you and your team time and therefore money. Here are 5 real-life examples of how we can automate processes in your business and help you get back those hours for more important tasks.
Ask any business owner what their biggest pain point is, and they’ll tell you there’s never enough time in the day, week, month. Am I right? But as you know, time is a finite resource, it’s the amount of energy that you devote to your tasks in the day that makes all the difference.
Automation: noun. ‘the method or system of operating or controlling a process by highly automatic means, reducing human intervention to a minimum or without continuous input from an operator.’
Are you getting a lot of website traffic but few conversions? Maybe you need some more calls to action or social proof to encourage customers to buy?
Social proof is the act of using reviews and social prompts to validate the use of a product or service. According to a 2020 survey by BrightLocal, 82% of consumers read online reviews for local businesses before making a purchasing decision.
A few months ago, some of us were baselessly optimistic that at the stroke of midnight on 31 December all of our 2020 troubles would disappear, and we would stride in 2021 with the pandemic firmly behind us.

It’s pretty daunting to find yourself staring down the barrel of a whole future. We’ve all been there: excited to find our dream job but scared of all the rejection that might come with it, and not knowing if what you’re applying for is actually what you want to do for the rest of your life!
If you read our recent article about creating an online store for your products, then you may know some of what I am going to cover today. But here’s something you might not know… there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes of an online store to ensure it runs smoothly. Did you know that SA’s largest online store, Takealot, employs over 1 200 people? Here’s why you need to think about this before you dive in.
If you read our previous post about e-commerce after COVID then you probably don’t need us to tell you again that e-commerce or online shopping is the way of the future. You’ve heard it for years before, and now it has accelerated substantially by the ‘adapt-or-die’ COVID-19 climate. According to World Wide Worx, an independent tech market research group, the portion of e-commerce in South Africa’s retail climate is just 1.4%, compared to the US and China, where it is closer to 20%. So, how do you tap into this market, and where do you start?
