Four years ago I was asked to write an article for Leap Year, predicting the four most important trends for direct mail over the following four years.

3 Technical Tricks to Empower Your Email Marketing Campaigns

Posted February 24, 2016 by Chris Van Houtte in Direct Mail Tips, Direct Marketing Trends

I read and process email all day. Keeping my inbox manageable is a daily struggle. I read almost every email – quickly deleting emails I don’t need, filing emails I may need later and responding to emails that need my input.

Not only did I grow up with four siblings, but […]
