Huge part of my activities during the day also involve researching the SEO/SEM positioning of my clients, analyzing digital trends, developing content for social networks, and similar.

Running an e-commerce business posses many challenges. Which challenges your clients face from your experience?

In Mexico we are 3 years ahead of the digital development, today we are evangelizing the e-commerce process, we offer solutions for the small business to help them move their businesses online. However, with the older generation, there is a fear of change – and we try to remove the fears with education.
