S07 EP27: How to Use this Recession as a Growth Opportunity w/ Reinis Krumins

On today’s episode, Kunle is joined by Reinis Krumins, Co-Founder of AgencyJR, an SMS and email marketing agency that helps eCommerce create a product launch strategy framework.

Young as he was, Reinis, at the age of 13, knew what he wanted–to make money. As a kid raised by his grandmother and mother, he wanted to have things that, with limitations to resources and finances, he was not able to have. His mind and life started to change when he met his stepfather, a self-made man who was able to build and grow his own company. Along with his innate determination and the inspiration he got from his stepfather, he worked on jobs until around the age of 18, he created his agency.

AgencyJR creates diverse strategies in creating email and SMS campaigns for their clients helping them thrive during a global economic crisis. They have started building landing pages, too, for their top clients, as well as a Q4 launch strategy. Reinis emphasizes that providing value leads to ideas.

It’s an insightful and inspiring episode as you’d hear Kunle and Reinis talk about perspectives and strategies in launching products as well as bite-sized tips and methodologies that can help to start and existing eCommerce brands market their product during a time of economic difficulties.
