With the holiday season upon us, now is the time to up your email marketing strategy in order to increase your conversion rates and make your marketing efforts successful.
Not planning on using email in your Holiday Marketing strategy? You might want to reconsider as email marketing was the #1 driver of online sales on Black Friday last year. Fifty-Seven percent of email subscribers spend ten to sixty minutes browsing emails during the week. People are opening email marketing messages on mobile devices and often while they’re shopping.
According to eMarketer, “One of the main drivers is the fact that email is predominantly viewed on mobile. Mobile is getting better, and retailers are beginning to get that.”
