Customers like receiving email newsletters

The marketing services firm Epsilon reported recently that retailers greatly benefit from using e-mail to reach out to opt-in customers and visitors on their mailing list. Here's what Epsilon found:
  • 56% of shoppers are more likely to buy from a retailer who sends them e-mail
  • 48% of shoppers surveyed said they feel "more loyal" to a store after receiving an e-mail from that business
  • 52% said they have a more "favorable opinion" of the companies that send them e-mail
  • 87% said e-mail is a great way to get information from companies about new and upcoming products
