Editor's Notes
Before I start … Each year ExactTarget publishes new editions of our Subscribers, Fans and Followers research series. The most recent edition, our 21st, 2013 Global Stats Executive Summary, where we share stats on email, mobile, social and the web from our 7 offices around the globe.You can visit exacttarget.com/SFF to download it or any of the other additions that you see here.
Email has survived more “guru”-predicted, near-death experiences than any other medium. The lesson, “_____ Is Dead” proclamations are foolish in a world fragmented by channels and devices. There’s more than enough room for everyone. This should calm some content marketing nerves who woke up to “Blogging Is Dead” headlines earlier this year. But it should also serve as a cautionary tale about beating a dead subject line. “_____ Is Dead” headlines are clearly provocative, linkbait. However, if you ride such waves too late or with a faulty premise, you run the risk of sending “rolling eye content” and losing your credibility. Don’t sacrifice accuracy for provocation.

“Businesses need to be able to truly serve the individual.” Well said. Traditionally, marketer have targeted groups of customers; a select audience.Marketers are now shifting their focus to targeting individuals; the individuals that exist within a select audience.
Responsive design has moved from a nice to have to a must have. The increased, everyday importance and use of mobile in our lives requires us to design to meet customer expectations.And their number one expectation is that there be no pinching required to read what we are trying to sell them or tell them. Any effort needed to pinch-in or zoom-out is not worth the value they may find in your hard to read email … another lost subscriber, another lost opportunity.
emails are still desktop-oriented. They’re very long, use small text, and have a 5-column wide product grid.

OK, last but not least: dataLet’s go back to what I said at the start of this chat: marketers used to target a select audience; now they need to shift their focus to target individuals within a select audience. Relevance is everything.
