People are too busy and people want to be in control
Mail is not “green” and postage is too expensive now
Customers are being conditioned to find anything they want at any time
We are witnessing rapid marketing evolution. Will you evolve?

Mail is too expensive, and increases the carbon footprint
Recession squeezing marketing budgets
More email being pushed than ever
