A Gmail draft I put together to request a service quote from a vendor. Clear, professional, and specific enough that the vendor had everything they needed to respond without a back-and-forth.

Every few months someone writes a "is email dead?" think piece. Here's what the data actually says.

400 billion emails are sent daily between 4.6 billion people worldwide. That number is growing, not shrinking.

A few stats that freelancers working in email should know:

• 75.4% of consumers in the US, UK, France, Germany, and Spain prefer email as their channel for receiving promotions from brands. Not social, not push notifications. Email.

• 62% of US marketers increased their email budgets over the past year. The channel is growing, not dying.

• About 1 in 2 people who click on an automated welcome email end up a buyer.

• Personalized subject lines can improve open rates by 9.1% just by adding the recipient's first name. And 59% of top marketers say personalization is the most effective tool for engagement.

• Automated email workflows can generate up to 30x more revenue than non-automated ones.

So if a client ever asks you whether email is still worth investing in, you have the numbers.
