Email marketing is a powerful tool
In her own words, Kenda is obsessed with email marketing. She sees it as a powerful tool – with a tradition going back further than we are given to realise. An email is actually very similar to a letter, something we have been using for centuries – and not that much different from newspaper articles, take for instance the leader column and the personal column. However, many companies do not make full use of email’s attributes – there is too much sales talk, too little attention on the readers, and communication tends to be too impersonal.

Make it personal
In fact, communication should be personal and target-specific. Kenda foresees that mainstream newsletters will die out whereas personal newsletters can look forward to a bright future.

Advantages are out there for your little company. Guess what they are! Or just listen to it here.
