      Tasks in this role included editing and updating the product databases, assisting with stock checks, editing photographs for publishing on the website and producing email marketing campaigns. Given the large numbers of similar products, this required a methodical and systematic approach to avoid errors, which given the small size of the company, could have proved expensive both in terms of time to correct and customers purchasing products with incorrect information for example.
