Analyse like an ace and perform like a pro

A long-winded e-mail with heavy jargon gets you nowhere. Complex words and lengthy phrases just make your e-mail boring.Your customer does not want to scroll down pages of text to get the message. Write like a 3rd grader with short and simple sentences that work best. Even if it is a professional letter, try to make it plain and simple unless absolutely necessary.

Analytics is going to be the mantra for Digital Marketing in 2017. Digital decisions will be based on statistics and analytical data.
