    Influencer trying to negotiate a discount

    "We’re extremely busy at the moment and unable to take on any other projects for the foreseeable, so we’re not currently using social media to generate new business." This is basically your answer, isn't it? You don't need them. Also, in relation to the 'millions of followers' - really? I work...

    Is this a good marketing tool?

    How much do you think you're going to be spending? Most of my e-commerce clients spend between £1K - £3K a month. When I run my own test ads I spend approximately £500, just gathering data.

    Targeting autistic people

    I'm an advertiser and my son is autistic. I've also worked with a charity that supported non-NT people. I'd say, be open and direct and avoid puns or clever-clever wordplay. There's a survey (I'm not allowed to link) that says that misleading or untrue advertising falls especially flat on...

    What aspects of your marketing are you dissatisfied with?

    "Surely if a method isn't working you just stop and try something different" - If you don't have the time/experience/knowledge to implement something properly and that's the reason it's not working, then you'd maybe get some help in. I would anyway.
