Email Marketing - still king after all these years!

The first email was sent over 50 years ago, in 1971! Email became popular with the rise of the internet and was embraced by individuals and organizations alike through the early 2000s. Ever since that time we’ve heard that that email is going to be replaced by whatever the latest hot communications tech on the scene is. Yet here we are, in the mid 2020s and email is still going strong! For most of us our inbox is the starting point for our working day. Yes we use other communications channels, but the bedrock is still email

For this reason, although email marketing can be thought of as just another marketing channel, and therefore part of a marketing or CRM system we’ve given it its own section in our list of services.
