Week-End Trends: Valentine's Day messaging peaks

Email activity and promotional trends during the past week:

The Retail Email Index: Top online retailers sent each of their subscribers 2.5 promotional emails on average during the week ending Feb. 5, 2010. That’s down 1% week-over-week, up 4% from where it was four weeks ago, and up 4% year-over-year.

The Retail Email Seasonality Meter: Valentine’s Day messaging has peaked. Seasonal messaging will be pretty subdued over the next few weeks. Last week we saw our first reference to Presidents Day.

 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.
