If you’re like many consumers, then your inbox mostly consists of emails from businesses you’ve contacted or want to stay in touch with. From retail stores in your area to favorite local restaurants to reminders from local service companies, most of us get dozens of marketing emails a day. And, some of those emails are extremely relevant to the business’ target audience – its consumers. Some, on the other hand, are not as useful to consumers.
But what kinds of emails do consumers really want to see from local businesses? Are coupons and discounts most effective? Or do people prefer regular, timely news and updates about the local businesses they follow?
