Organizing your email can be a challenge for anyone. Email has taken the place of memos in business, correspondence in your personal life and direct mail marketing. There are newsletters, special announcements, updates and of course the dreaded spam.

Varios factores se han conjugado para que las comunicaciones por vía mail alcancen un alto nivel de efectividad. Los usuarios reciben de buen agrado las comunicaciones que no son spam, es decir, descartan automáticamente aquellos mails no solicitados –y en esto mucho tiene que ver la tecnología cada vez más efectiva que emplean los servidores de correo para detectar y eliminar los email de propaganda no deseada. sin embargo, reciben de buen agrado newsletters y comunicaciones de sitios y empresas a las que les han comprado, o en las que tienen un interés en particular. Las nuevas formas de comunicarnos, por ejemplo a través de las redes sociales, hacen que algunos responsables de CRM (Relaciones con el Cliente-Customer Relationship Management) o Marketing hayan de dejado de lado entre sus estrategias más comunes el sencillo y tradicional mail. No nos referimos al newsletter, ni a los mailings como acciones promocionales puntuales para promocionar una oferta o un hecho puntual, sino...more
