Behaviour Experience Outcomes
prof's thought on what email marketers often miss
But most consumers have specific preferences that guide their product interest. As in aside to this point, let me say, I think this is one of the most overlooked opportunities for marketers. Meaning, the opportunity to ask consumers for a little information that will help them better segment, position, align, etc., their future marketing promotions. Also, I don't think companies ask customers often enough about the right frequency/type of email for them. This should be done proactively more often.
