We're always out on the web searching for the latest information in business marketing and employee training. We recently came upon the above-referenced article (link to article below) and would like to take note of certain items mentioned.
- Yes, people did like receiving emails over all other forms of marketing communication. This applies to every age group, from the age of 15 on up to those who are 65+ in age.
