An especially big welcome if you’re joining us from The Inbox Files launch – it’s lovely to have you here!
With that in mind, I’m focusing this week on email marketing as it is one area of marketing we all need to not only master but stay on top of as it evolves…
And evolve it does which is why I created The Inbox Files and constantly stay up to date with best practices and what’s really working when it comes to email.
It’s email marketing expert Ben Settle’s birthday today so let’s start with some goodies from him…
First up is his excellent riposte to those ‘death of email’ rumors and emails that regularly drop into your inbox:
