Email Compliance: DUAA 2025

Segment or Stagnate?

Marketing to everyone is the fastest way to convert no one. There's no such thing as an "average" subscriber.

We recently covered what personal data is, albeit in the form of a brief overview, and there is a lot more to it than can be covered in 500 or so words. Come to that, 1000 words. It’s involved. It’s complex. It can get you into severe trouble with the ICO. It can cost you … READ MORE »

Can Email Marketing Data Be Too Good?

One of email marketing's greatest strengths? Data. It's instant. It's reliable. It's rich. Best of all, it's yours – not something your competitors can get their hands on.

It's tempting. You see a subscriber in 19 and think: "Ah, Gen Z. I know what they want – TikTok, protein power and wireless earbuds." But if you're segmenting your email marketing list based solely on age, you're playing a dangerous game of stereotypes.
