20 Shocking Email Marketing Stats All Business Owners Should Know

With 2016 underway, you’d think SnapChat, Vine or some other new and shiny platform would steal the spotlight, but for those of us in the marketing world, these compelling email marketing stats prove that email as a channel is far from obsolete. In fact, it should be a primary facet of your marketing plan now and moving forward.

Email marketing is a powerful vehicle for delivering messages directly to your target audience. Social media has its role in the marketing machine (as well it should), but you have to build your audiences, post constantly and run the risk of not everyone seeing your posts.

For us, email marketing is (and will continue to be) the most important channel any business can use to continually get their name in front of their past and present clients. It’s consistent, targeted, effective, inexpensive and used by over half of the world’s population.
