Mobile is killing emails?
Ain't because it's old that it's over!
Mobile phones are killing residential phones, but not emails. Email marketing might be 40 years old, but we still use it today to communicate with potential customers. And guest what, customers read them. Email is part of every imaginable activity that people do with their smartphone. In short, it’s a new era for email!

We can’t deny it! Mobile is an integral part of our lives. Always at our fingertips, we use it for all kinds of purposes. By the way, you can make a call with that thing you have in your hand!
