Posted June 22nd, 2020 in Email Marketing. Tagged: , , , .

Email marketing is one of the most efficient channels to market your services and products in 2020. As marketers, tapping a platform with a user base that touched 3.9 billion in 2019 and an ROI of 4400% is undeniable. However, it requires serious efforts to execute email campaigns and the absence of the right resources unnecessarily complicates things. Having the right software tools and manpower trained to use them increases results by many folds. In my opinion, every tool has its own set of benefits. But you should know about most of the available tools to select the most suitable one for you.
