Why I hate email marketing

Episode Description

Send us Fan Mail

Rachel takes on email marketing this week — and she's not shy about it: she's not a fan of receiving it, even though she knows exactly how to run a campaign. She draws a hard line between scraping or buying email lists (don't) and the real, opted-in exchange that makes email marketing worth doing in the first place. From there, she makes her case for SMS and WhatsApp messaging as the channels marketers are sleeping on — pointing to open rates north of 90% and the discipline that comes from having to write short and sharp. Plus: a listener poll heading to the WhatsApp community, and why you should really just text her instead of leaving a voicemail.

Join the WhatsApp community and weigh in on this week's poll: are you actually a fan of receiving email marketing?

And... hang in there.
