Easy Ways To Save Money In Email Marketing

We have all been used to negative forecasts for SMEs but they haven’t been as dire for some time.

History, though, tells us otherwise. In any, … READ MORE »

Cross-Selling To Increase Sales

  I am not a massive supporter of jargon terms, especially in email marketing where there are all sorts of methods one can use to increase sale volume and/or value.

Is A Brand Refresh Better Than A rebrand

We’ve recently covered a rebrand for your company, although my concern that it is not always optimum for anyone who depends on email marketing probably came through. I hope it did.

Good Causes And Email Marketing

I have recently subscribed to an e-newsletter which focuses on a hobby of mine. It is produced by a small company, consisting of just three permanent staff, none of whom have any graphics training, although the copy is gratifyingly grammatically accurate. They know email marketing though. The company supports a charity, one unknown to me … READ MORE »

Don’t Try To Predict Email Marketing Trends

I always do it, despite knowing there is no benefit.
