I think we all agree that our inboxes could use a good cleaning. If it wasn’t for Gmail’s tabs that organized everything, I would never see half of my emails, let alone open them. Email marketing continues to be one of the most effective forms of the craft, but if you want people to see what you’re sending, you need to use the top strategies effectively.
5 Incredible Email Marketing Statistics
While it does have a huge ROI, email marketing is tough as well. Check out these statistics:

- Email marketing has an ROI of 4,300 percent!
- The average adult attention span for emails is less than eight seconds!

We must continue to innovate even after all these years. You can reach a targeted and relevant audience much easier using a direct form of communication like this one.
