David believes the trick for generating traffic is trying and testing new things – staying ahead of the curve. He believes there is no one traffic method but it is about innovating across all of your channels and seeing and doing things before the competition.
Tool Top Tip
David accepts that there are some great tools out there, but believes that sometimes the tech can actually get in the way. He believes that sometimes things could be done a lot quicker and easier by getting the relevant parties in and having a well organised meeting.
Start Up Top Tip
David recommends that if you’re thinking of starting a new business stop dithering and do it, because you are not going to be able to tell if it will work until you actually do it. He suggests once you are up and running and you’ve got traction remember that in the future it is going to be old new’s so keep innovating.

Amazon, David likes they way they run their business and is so impressed at how they’ve managed to scale their business. But there are things that he doesn’t like he would potentially create an eCommerce business that fits between Amazon and Net-a-Porter.
