Email is #1 for internet marketing
December 13th, 2011
Email is the most used, most valuable internet marketing tool
According to a recent survey* 188 billion emails are sent out every day. Next up are 3.3 billon searches and 1 billion Google+ items shared daily. By way of contrast, “only” 140 million Tweets and 60 million Facebook updates are sent out. The total number of daily emails is greater than Twitter, Facebook, searches and Google sharing activities all added together!
Email marketing is clearly #1 for internet marketing. I’ve chosen an email from Gap UK to illustrate the power of a well-crafted email. Here’s their subject line: “SALE! Up to 60% Off!” I selected the email from InboxVision’s “be inspired” Email Gallery, a small extract from their Email Intelligence database of a million promotional email designs & newsletter templates.
