In their recent study paid search and online advertising was less than half as effective as email marketing. Social media marketing also struggled to impress while content marketing – a relatively newcomer in the digital marketing space is performing really well but it’s hasn’t taken out the top spot. This belongs to email marketing and here’s why.
