Common Email Marketing Misconceptions

"Email is dead" 💀

"Investing in email is a waste of your budget."

Think again. Email is the most personalized and often effective digital channel in your marketing toolbox. Email offers a direct and personal line of communication, unlike with social or Google adwords, where you're fighting to get eyeballs. Email is even more relevant today as cookies become a thing of the past.

"Investing in email is a waste of your budget."

Not true. In fact, email has one of the highest returns of any digital marketing channel, with an average return on investment of 36:1.
