From the sound of things, it looks like customer connections are still strongest with opt-in emails and website promotions. While social media (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and YouTube, blah, blah, blah) do add marketing and promotional value, research shows that the top ways consumers find out about special promotions is through company web sites and email alerts. Best practice for business is to make sure your email is smart phone ready as more email is read via mobile than on a desktop or via web mail.
Stats say 43% of email is now opened on a mobile device. Litmus –”Email Analytics” (December 2012).

I help health, fitness, nutrition and beauty businesses grow. Specifically, businesses building things to make us look and feel great, so that includes fashion, tech and spas too. I have two sites, one about marketing and brand building, which is mj.works and another UndisputedOrigin.com which I started to inspire everyone to become the very best they can be while leading more purposeful lives filled with gratitude and greatness. Both sites include studying and curating the very best experts and masters for improving performance, achieving success and living a thoughtful and intentional life. I am also obsessed with how technology can improve our health, fitness, nutrition, meditation and mindful practices while reducing stress and creating calm amidst the chaos of modern existence. Both sites are about my interest in self-discovery and personal growth.
