January 15, 2015 •

Email messages can deliver relevant, actionable, and engaging content directly to shoppers, ultimately improving sales or helping businesses achieve any number of goals. Getting the most from an email-marketing campaign and maximizing those sales, however, is a dynamic art and science that combines creative disciplines like writing and graphic design with analytics and behavioral data.

Marketers certainly have no shortage of email-marketing resources. In fact one could find helpful information about the latest and most successful email-marketing trends from any one of a dozen or more blogs, YouTube channels, and podcasts — and even from the resource pages that most email service providers offer.

To this collection of email-marketing-related resources, consider added a few exceptional Twitter feeds.
