May we blend in with your day-to-day business?"

Marketing
English term or phrase: May we blend in with your day-to-day business?"
Headline for a direct mail. The sender is a company that makes ingredients for the food industry.
So there is a word play on the "blend in" phrase.
Flemming Birch
German translation:Dürfen wir uns in Ihren Alltag einmischen?
Explanation:
"tägliches Geschäft" lyder ikke så smart. "Alltag" er en direkte oversættelse af "dagligdag". Det lyder mere naturligt på tysk.

Det er også muligt at sige \"mitmischen\" istedet for \"einmischen\". Sætningen lyder så: \"Dürfen wir in Ihrem Alltag mitmischen?\"

Dürfen wir uns bei Ihrem täglichen Geschäft einmischen


Explanation:
"blend in" mostly means "integrieren" oder "zusammenmischen", but using "einmischen" also makes it a good marketing slogan

Now \"Dürfen wir bei Ihrem Tagesgeschäft mitmischen?\" seems to be a perfect slogan...

Dürfen wir uns in Ihren Alltag eingliedern?


Explanation:
"einmischen" is to negative and "mitmischen" is a funny colloquial expression, which does not match the politeness of "Dürfen wir".
