Do Not Exploit The Trust Of Your Subscribers

There’s a fine line between expanding your current email marketing campaigns to sell items that will be useful for your customers during the coronavirus response and taking advantage of it for your own ends.

There’s A New Normal For Email Marketing 

Something rather unusual has happened to neighbours of mine, probably unique in a 50-mile radius.
