How We Can Help You with Digital Marketing

In whichever position you are, remember this: you’re a problem solver – you have been solving problems for your customers. That said, we’ve witnessed how some communities stood together to protect their homes and malls (livelihood) – here in SA. There were also online communities that rallied together to collect donations for those affected, and some who offered to do clean-ups. It gave us a glimmer of hope. In this week’s newsletter, we look at how SME South Africa can help you with digital marketing to ultimately bring in customers and sales for your business. Check this out:- Get a review on the top digital marketing agencies- Serv: the B2B marketplace for small businesses- The ultimate business ideas guide

Have you considered having your business listed on Serv, the SME B2B Marketplace?

Serv is a B2B marketplace that aims to address some of the big challenges South African SMEs face; namely generating sales and revenue, access to markets as well as marketing and sales. The Serv platform caters for both service providers (small businesses) and service seekers (businesses seeking professional services).
