Hat tip to Steve Hambleton for this one.
The demand for insight:

People who open and read emails do it for insight, not general news or company content.
Are you providing insight? Or just news.
Some newsletters that are interesting to read:

State of Inbound report - the value is getting less.

Some of the results this year aren’t that helpful...
Consider this:
Slide 51: 64% of respondents had 25 staff or less - on 11% of respondents had 200 staff or more…
Slide 52: Only 14% of respondents had revenues of more than $10M
Thus the results are going to be skewed towards smaller business strategies and tactics.
Which is why results such as slide 19 are pretty useless:
Most of the companies have probably never done any offline paid advertising (eg TV, outdoor, etc) so no wonder they think it is overrated.
This is further indicated by the small size of their marketing budgets:
Most of the respondents are spending less than half a million on marketing each year. TV isn’t an option for any of these companies.
And in companies with small marketing budgets, the ability to test new things is often severely constrained.
