Email is undoubtedly one of the most powerful opportunities for engaging with your leads and customers, and increasing sales. 
In fact, email generates $42 for every $1 spent, which is an astounding 4,200% ROI — making it an incredibly effective tool for generating revenue. 
But nowadays, our consumers are overloaded with emails and often suffer from email fatigue, leading them to delete or ignore most emails they receive. Worse still, that’s if they even receive your email in the first place.
