When breakups get messy!
For those who are aren’t aware Mailchimp will no long support direct integration with Shopify.
This really isn’t the end of the world, nor does it mean the death of email.
... But today Shopify sent this email which is misleading.
Some customers are confused, so to clear it up, Mailchimp isn’t going anywhere!
You can still choose to connect Mailchimp with Shopify through third party apps after the direct integration is no longer available.

Yesterday, I stepped out my comfort zone and delivered a 'Getting Started With Mailchimp' training session in Maghera. - Delivering training isn't new to me, the fact it was on my doorstep is. Put that down to rural mentality. - The fact of the matter is, I've talked about delivering practical digital marketing training sessions in the Mid Ulster area for years so taking the steps to book a space and getting business owners to commit their time to attending and learn a new s...kill is a major achievement. - The objective for yesterdays session was to give business owners more confidence to take ownership of their email marketing efforts and provide them with a greater understanding of how email marketing can impact their bottom line both online in terms of conversion, lead generation and offline in terms of increased in store footfall and we certainly achieved that. - Yesterdays session is the first in a number of training sessions that I plan on facilitating. But if you have something particular you would like to learn let me know and I will do my best to add them to plan. - I think it's important to add that these sessions aren't talking shops of what we could or should be doing. These are practical of learning and doing so you can return to work knowing exactly how to get started. - Thanks again to everyone who attending. I really appreciate it and I hope you all learned something new which can be applied to your business.

Tonight Panorama reporter Catrin Nye investigates whether companies are being clear and transparent when it comes to influencer marketing and the impact this new form of advertising is having on consumers.

Just how much time are you spending on your phone? Well iOS 12 monitors just that!📲
As we live in a mobile first society we are actively consuming content and making purchases directly from our phones. 📖💸
Whilst having a mobile marketing strategy is essential for business, there are concerns as to just how screen time impacts metal wellbeing and the rise of users being socially absent. 🤖
... Personally I can live without my phone, but when it comes to completing those 'in the moment searches', 'quick purchases' or 'checking my emails'I couldn't live without it.
But over the course of this week I am going to monitor my screen time and next Tuesday I will share my results. 🙈
However I don't want to do this alone and I challenge you to do the same and together we can be embarrassingly shocked by the results.
