Get More Opens, Clicks and Results from Your Company’s Email with These Tips
Way back in 1971, a computer engineer named Raymond Tomlinson sent the first email. What was once considered innovative and a blessing (of sorts) for B2B companies is now a burden to recipients, and a never ending set of schemes from marketers trying to avoid spam filters.
Time suck. Overload. Telemarketing wanna-be’s. The new junk mail. Irrelevant. Drowning.
Those are the phrases your prospects might be using when it comes to describing their attitude toward email marketing.
It’s no wonder.
Statistics, extrapolations and counting by the Radicati Group from February 2017 estimate the number of email users worldwide was 3.7 billion, and the amount of emails sent per day (in 2017) to be around 269 billion. That’s 3.1 million emails sent every second of every day, and for you really big thinkers, that’s 98 trillion emails a year.
