Submitted on Wed, 28/08/2019 - 10:32am By Tara Bradbury

We are now 6 months into 2019 and weekly I’m inundated with so many new tech options to help build our brand and personal profiles.

Monthly Newsletter: Newsletters should be standard practise. My advice is to send them out monthly to keep production levels high and the communication lines open. You don’t want to oversaturate your clients with weekly newsletters, however, don’t leaving it for more than a month is too long.
