Week-End Trends: Halloween takes the lead

Email activity and promotional trends during the past week:

The Retail Email Index rose 2% to 215 during the week ending Sept. 19, and is down 1% from where it was four weeks ago. The Index score indicates that the top 100 online retailers sent more than 2.1 promotional emails each on average last week.

 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.
