SUMMARY

Learned a lot about email marketing during this project which is still ongoing. Faced problems with the integration of the payment gateway which was resulting in low conversion rates. Explored automation tools and used MailChimp. Had to modify the workflow to fit MailChimp’s linear flow structure. Coordinated with client and developer overseas on this project.
