?????????? ?????????????????? ???? ???????????????? Should small businesses even bother with email marketing? It's ineffective and outdated. There are far better options, like SMS marketing, which boasts much higher conversion and open rates. Email marketing is expensive and requires weeks of warming up your emails. Even then, you often end up in the spam folder. People nowadays ignore promotional emails, resulting in terrible conversion rates of 1% - 3% per thousand emails sent. Additionally, small businesses face competition from big-name brands, making it even more challenging to stand out. For a company aiming to grow exponentially, email marketing seems like a poor investment. Why would they still use it when there are more effective strategies available?

"????'?? ?????? ?????????? ????????: ????'?? ?????????? ??????????" After DECA, we continued planning and pitching our project to potential investors. Time and time again, we encountered the same reactions: "This is a really interesting idea, let’s talk once you have more built." However we were more than just an idea--> we had a working product. Frustration grew as we realized we were being strung along, becoming mere connections for potential future deals. Desperation for funding set in. We needed money, but more importantly, we needed validation for our company and tangible results from our efforts. We eventually found the perfect opportunity: a start-up competition, hosted by INCubatoredu, which guaranteed funding only for the top two teams. But unfortunately, winning wasn’t that simple. On the day of the presentation, one of our team members got extremely sick, battling a sore throat and a cold. Despite the body aches, shivers, and nerves, he mustered the strength to stand on stage and pitch. Halfway through, the internet went out, freezing our presentation and disrupting the flow. But we refused to give up. In that critical moment, regained our composure, engaged the judges in conversation, and absolutely killed the rest of the pitch. Against all odds, we won. After months of being strung along, we finally achieved the breakthrough we needed. With the check below ??, we filed for our LLC and began refining our MVP, breathing life into our company?at?last.

?????? ?????????? ???? ?????????? ?????? ?????????????? David and Goliath is a tale of facing challenges that seem insurmountable. This is the story of AiME and DECA. None of our team members had ever participated in a district competition before. We entered one of the most competitive events, the Start-Up Business Plan, in the largest district in Texas, District 7. After months of meticulous planning, we finally arrived at the competition. Despite our preparation, some of us forgot our lines during the presentation. Yet, we improvised on the spot, and it turned out even better than the scripted version. As we waited for the results, we watched many of our classmates get rejected for the state competition. The closer it got to our names, the more nervous I became. But against all odds, we were called up. I received the district medal with sweaty palms and a huge smile. We thought, if the district competition was this tough, what would States be like? When we arrived in Houston for the state competition, we believed we had everything under control. However, we soon discovered that our competition paper, containing all the crucial information about our product, wasn't printed correctly. We spent hours walking back and forth, trying to find a place that could print it properly. We walked about 5 miles within a 1-mile zone we were told not to cross. Finally, we found a local business that could print it for us, just an hour before our presentation. This left us exhausted and, honestly, unprepared. Even though we didn’t qualify for the national competition, the experience and knowledge we gained were invaluable. The time we spent and the lessons we learned have shaped AiME into what it is today. This competition is only the beginning.

???????? ?????? ???????? ?????????????? ???? ???? ???????? ???????? ?????????? ???? ?????? ???????? ????????????????? If you did, you are most definitely not alone. Many businesses have a unique idea that they spend hours planning, developing, pitching, and eventually getting funding. BUT 90% of them fail because they simply can’t get customers in such a saturated market especially as people have become desensitized to emails and ads leading to lower conversion rates. Enter Akrit and Pranav, Co-founders of a company that they thought was their Facebook, their way to change the world. And they spent those countless hours, the tired days and nights trying to get this running and eventually, they had a product, pitch, and plan but no one to pitch to. So they built an automated email marketing system with personalizations to attract clients, spending hundreds of dollars per month. This however, gave little to no meetings and they were left scratching their heads as to why this was happening. And eventually, they realized it was not the product or message, but rather their way of reaching potential customers. But it was too late, the company ran out of funding and came to an end wasting a full year of grueling passion and work. And that story led to the birth of AiME Technologies, because we knew that every idea deserved a chance to change the world, and every person putting in time and effort shouldn’t be left behind simply because of the lack of customers. So we created SMS AI Agents that are trained to do outreach and can have full conversations with your leads till they convert. These agents sound exactly like a human and can be tailored to meet outreach goals so that no company struggles to achieve their mission again.
