Despite being around since the earliest days of internet usage, email marketing still remains at the forefront of technology both in terms of allowing the latest tech startups to grow and in the advanced tools that tech-savvy email marketing companies can provide.
Take for example the e-newsletter company Morning Brew, a business that was able to effectively use email marketing tools to reach a higher level of success. By working with the right email marketing partner, they were able to identify problems and optimize their workflow. In doing so, they saw their subscriber numbers grow and their unique open rate reach over 45%.
Want to see how email companies are changing the game with their innovation and tech? We’ve spotlighted five digital dynamos that are pushing boundaries of what businesses can accomplish with email marketing.
