Week-End Trends: Out with a bang

Email activity and promotional trends during the past week:

The Retail Email Index fell 4% to 190 during the week ending July 4, and is down 11% from where it was four weeks ago. The Index score indicates that the top 100 online retailers sent 1.9 promotional emails each on average last week.

The Retail Email Seasonality Meter: The 4th of July dominated last week’s email marketing, which saw less volume because of the Friday holiday. In the weeks ahead, there will be a small but ever growing number of back to school emails, plus a small number of “Christmas in July” emails.

 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.
