There are many ways to communicate with customers. The choices are getting bigger. The budget allocation decisions tougher. But don’t forget, in all of this, to keep email marketing at the heart of your marketing strategy.
Email marketing matters
Email marketing is so mainstream it’s lost a little of its excitement. It’s been around a while. It’s familiar territory. But that’s because it works. It works really well. And over time, the tech has got better too. So emails can be viewed on mobiles with responsive design. And emails can be triggered by events in the customer journey with email automation technology.
