Email activity and promotional trends during the past week:

The RetailEmail Index rose 2% to 215 during the week ending May 9, and is up 3% from where it was four weeks ago. The Index score indicates that the top 100 online retailers sent slightly more than 2.1 promotional emails each on average last week.

RetailEmail Seasonality Meter: After Monday, it was all downhill for Mother’s Day emails. We’ll probably get a few last-minute emails over the weekend, but that’s it. It’s onward to Memorial Day, Father’s Day and graduation.

 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.
