  • Automatiza Woocommerce y échate a dormir

    WordPress Meetup SevillaSpeaker: Mariano Pérez

    May 24, 2018 — WARNING: This video has the potential to cause seizures for people with Photosensitive EPILEPSY

    Gestionar un negocio en Internet no es fácil (ni en el mundo físico). Tienes que rastrear todas las transacciones, actualizar los productos existentes y subir los nuevos, resolver las dudas frecuentes de los clientes, etc. Además, como tu tienda está abierta las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana, tienes la presión añadida de ofrecer a tus clientes una experiencia de usuario perfecta durante todo el día.

    Afortunadamente, hay una forma de quitarte un poco de presión de encima: automatizar tu tienda online.

    Pasarás menos tiempo metiendo nuevos datos de clientes, enviando correos electrónicos personalizados y administrando tareas, y más tiempo realizando los proyectos importantes para ti y para tus clientes.
