There are sweeping changes taking place in the marketing landscape as you read this. With privacy becoming better protected, the ability to “buy” revenue is diminishing.

In the age where customer retention could mean the difference between success and failure, eMail marketing is a stand-out performer.

Email allows you to segment your audiences and hit them at the right time with the right offer. With the host of powerful tools available to leverage email marketing, the possibilities are endless. But getting it right is easier said than done!
On today’s episode, Kunle and Chase get into the real nitty-gritties of what it takes to run successful eMail marketing campaigns.
