Six Reasons to K.I.S.S. “Very often, people confuse simple with simplistic. The nuance is lost on most.” - Clement Mok, Chief Creative Officer, Sapient We’ve all heard THIS acronym, K.I.S.S. – Keep it Simple, Stupid! While I prefer, Keep it Splendidly Simple; the point is the same. Make it simple! All of us have heard the phrase. All of us nervously laugh and knowingly nod our heads when we hear it.

I therefore devoted some time to tracking conversions from this campaign and found that it had gone from being my main source of sales a few years ago, to now contributing hardly any sales at all. At the beginning of the month, I cancelled this campaign too and it has made absolutely no difference to my business turnover. The amazing thing is that this campaign was costing me nearly $2000 a month which is now money in my pocket :-)

Some small businesses believe that business is only about making money—the sale is all that matters. Making money and sales are important—no money, no business—however; the relationships you build with your customers influence future sales.
