Email Still King In Spite Of Social Media

You might some how still be confused about the importance of an application that was invented as far back as 1998. Yes, that was when the internet as we know it today was just an infant - to paraphrase. It was called the E-mail. Fast forward 2019 and it is even more relevant now than ever. Over 60% of emails sent are opened on a mobile device (tablet or smart-phone). If an email is not purposely designed to be device agnostic - responsive, the message is impossible to read let alone interact with. Most tools focus on getting the message into the in-box. That though, is only part of the solution.

The email has to be easy to read, good looking and possesses click-able parts that should reference pages on your website. The trash bin is patiently waiting for messages that do not rendered properly as intended. Another well known fact is that images will not show up (automatically) for about 60% of recipients' email clients. Emails that rely heavily on images in their design interface will not get their messages across.

The question then is how do you design unique emails and newsletters that always display their messages as intended? The ones that are intuitive and inviting to read will always increase engagement, and ultimately the main objective of deliver-ability.

E-mail The Trusted Social Media:

No Data Breach

With just about everyone having an email address, including built-in features for personal and group conversation, it is the largest social platform. The nifty forward button makes both personal and group sharing a cinch. Attachment of a variety of file types accommodated

Controllable and very lucrative

It's easier to reach an audience using email than with the current social media services. The later is fragmented with data abuse and manipulation notwithstanding

Patient yet actionable

It's personal, not invasive, yet hard to ignore. It sits comfortably in the in-box until the intended reader takes action and reads or (re)moves the message. It allows you to decide whether you want a "Push" or a a "Pull" service. In other words, you are in control unlike some megalomaniac social media platforms. Push - let you know if new message has arrive. Pull - you go and check if there is a new message at leisure.
