Email marketing has been at the forefront of digital marketing for several decades. The reason is simple: It works. With 3.9 billion active email users at the end of 2019, potentially growing into 4.48 billion by 2024, manufacturers shouldn’t ignore this critical foundation of modern marketing. Ideally, any email you’re sending is going to individuals who have already agreed to receive emails from your business. That makes all leads from email marketing pre-warmed and more likely to convert to actual sales. The returns can be exponential! Contact Becky, Communications Director, with questions.
