I would suggest it as a starting point for email marketing information. Keep in mind that this comes from constant contact and so it reads sometimes like a Marketing Brochure. Look into more books to get a broader understanding. Rating: 4 / 5 The book has good information for anyone who wants to get started with email marketing.

There's no fluff, posturing or meaningless jabber. Eric Groves filled the pages of the Guide with practical, useful instructions and real-world examples any business owner can follow. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to develop even stronger relationships with their prospects and customers.

The information is presented in such a way that you can read one of the brief chapters and put the information to immediate use. <br /> <br />I could have saved myself a lot of time, effort and energy if I had purchased this book before I started my e-newsletter. <br /> <br />Kevin Sivils - author of Self-Publishing with Amazon's CreateSpace: A Resource Guide for the Author Considering Self-Publishing Rating: 5 / 5 I own a small business and promote my books and services in a variety of ways, one of which is an e-newsletter.

Why the author insists on stating the obvious again and again "Don't spam people" is baffling to me. It would help if the book contained more about the process of email communication and building email content - I will continue to look information about creating a productive email campaign (that is it a skill between sales, customer service, product knowledge, editing, technical ability, and more) Rating: 2 / 5 Are we going backward in writing communication?
