You can just feel that email marketing has been changing quickly lately, but what's really going on? The 2021 State of Email report from Litmus provides some answers. For example, email teams and budgets haven't changed between pre-pandemic and now—but the workload has increased for 7 out of 10 marketers. (We were definitely feeling that...) No wonder 37% of companies intend to increase their investment in email in 2022, compared with just 11% at the beginning of the pandemic. And only 1.3% plan to decrease their email budget, compared with 35% at the pandemic's start! The 2021 State of Email report has a lot more helpful info, including marketers' top priorities for their email marketing programs—and much more. Download the free report now.
