Emails are…
Content rich
Can look great
Can pack a lot in
Can raise you money
Why we shouldn't forget email
Cuts through the noise of new social networks to deliver
messages to the space people trust
Cheap & neutral, unlike Facebook & Twitter
Allows you to build deep relationships
It's the only social network my dad understands

2. Arrives at the right time
3. Is an entry point for something you want to do
