The RetailEmail Index fell 10% to 129 during the week ending Jan. 5, and is down 40% from where it was four weeks ago.

*The RetailEmail Index is a general measure of the email volume generated by the top 100 online retailers.

Last week, 80% of the retailers in the RetailEmail Index send out at least one email, down from 82% the week prior, and down 93% from the 4-weeks-ago period.

 I love Smith-Harmon's enthusiasm. It's so great to have a connection with people who really "get" and get excited by email marketing. (Truly, there are not that many of us out there!) I count myself very lucky to have found such accomplished enthusiasts to collaborate with on the REI program. They are helping to bring amazing opportunities to fruition with panache.
