Email Remains a Channel Not To Be Overlooked

Therefore, they must ensure that they stand out within these overcrowded inboxes to create the contact expected by consumers.
Even as inboxes are increasingly crowded, we are seeing a strong need for a personal connection between the customer and the brand, which the isolation and social distancing can explain that consumers currently face.”
