Source: Clarity Mikhail Gamov May 22, 2017After doing some extensive research, I decided to set up a call with Stefan to discuss a subscription box business that I'm launching. Stefan was an amazing resource and answered all my questions - even though I had a ton of material to cover. I now have a list of things that I can do to improve my site and launch effectively. I'd highly recommend him if you have questions about subscription boxes, Ecommerce, and website optimization!!!
