Todd Grennan By Todd Grennan Oct 15, 2015

Today’s marketer has an abundance of messaging options, but too many organizations limit themselves to email and the occasional push notification, neglecting some of the most effective channels at their disposal. Marketing that relies on a single messaging channel is a recipe for failure: push notifications can be turned off, emails can go unread, and customers who have stopped using your app aren’t going to see your in-app messages.
