4 Content marketing mistakes website agencies may not think about

This past week both Canada and the United States celebrated Independence Days. Well, to be technical about it, Canada celebrated Canada Day on July 1st. The day is considered Canada’s birthday. So, happy birthday Canada! The United States celebrates Independence Day on Saturday, July 4th. So, for the next two days (actually weeks) we will be shooting off fireworks.

For a month, I worked on a car lot. Fun times. Being one of the new salespersons, I had to fend for myself. That meant as soon as someone came on the lot, we knew we guys had to run after them and get the “customer” to talk to us first. There is a reason many car lots are going away from the haggle approach. Most buyers just don’t like it, and they will not shop your lot. Buyers come on the lot, and sometimes, they know more than the salesperson does about the car and the prices. Used car

At times, some people have had issues with WooCommerce. For one, the product has been acquired by Automattic. Some just don’t like one of their solutions belonging to the company that runs WordPress.com. That being said, it is still a great platform. I can remember in my early WordPress days using Jigoshop.
