Evaporating emails
Nearly half of all the emails sent in 2021 were marked as spam, according to research by email marketing software Mailmodo. This data suggests that for every two emails that your business sends, one of them may be filtered into the recipient’s junk folder. 📬
In other words, your message might go – poof! – and vanish into cyberspace. Relying on email deliverability alone can result in wasted time, frustrated customers, and lost revenue.
The saving grace of SMS
Every word of your business communications deserve to see the light of day. Unlike email marketing, SMS has an average open rate of 97%. That’s impressive! 📲
