Hello all,
I am translating a brochure on a website and this is the context:
"Se trata de facilitar a sus clientes de manera práctica y eficiente, información sobre sus novedades, productos y promociones, de modo que la página web sirva como una toma de contacto y fidelización para sus potenciales clientes. "
Any help will be much appreciated.
P.S. Sorry, I don't know how to reverse the language pair.
