The RetailEmail Index fell 2% to 193 during the week ending March 7, and is down 8% from where it was four weeks ago. The Index score indicates that on average the top 100 online retailers each sent roughly 1.9 promotional emails last week.

RetailEmail Seasonality Meter: Leap Day might have stolen a little of Easter and St. Patrick’s Day’s thunder last week, but now that that’s out of the way those two holidays will shine.
