Email Ranked A High-Quality Media Channel

Email also was one of the media channels that received the highest “excellent quality” and “very good quality” designations among lead buyers and sellers. According to a 2018 Forbes article, Karina Tama-Rutigliano of Caring People Inc. said, “Email marketing has long been a tried-and-true method for generating leads. This approach continues to enjoy a strong track record in spite of the rise of social media platforms. Email marketing is still an efficient way to generate leads at a reasonable cost.”
