Warning, this site is not secure!

Not secure means that scary people can start doing scary stuff with your data. Said warning will be a reality as of october this year. Google tightens noose on HTTP: Chrome to stick 'Not secure' on pages with search fields.

What to do prior to an omni-channel campaign

An omni-channel marketing campaign utilizes multiple channels to reach out to potential customers. An example is a campaign that combines telemarketing (companies still do this) with onsite web forms, email, and a LinkedIn campaign.
