Is email losing its luster from a marketing standpoint ?
BusinessInsider today did an article on the diminishing returns some retailers are seeing with email marketing.
From the article:
Fewer consumers are opening promotional emails, especially since Gmail added a new setting in August that automatically archives promotional messages into a tab separate from users' inboxes, executives said.
"I think everyone would probably agree that email, even before the shift with Gmail, was becoming a less and less powerful channel," Jennifer Fleiss, cofounder and president of Rent The Runway, said at Business Insider's Ignition 2013 conference.
