Dave the owner of Dave’s Steak has his eyes fixed on setting up an online presence for his meat shop – He has set up a website for his shop. However, with the recession these days, he has to incorporate his website more, as brochures and flyers need a certain amount of investment, and this is what Dave claimed he don’t have at the moment.
Here is what Dave does: Instead of handling out brochures and flyers, he set up email newsletter system in his shop’s website. To encourage visitors to sign up, he did what I thought was brilliant: He offer free birthday steaks for those who subscribed.
