Email Marketing Census 2010

There is a newer version of this report available: Email Marketing Industry Census 2013

The fourth annual Email Marketing Industry Census, sponsored by Adestra, is based on the largest UK survey of email marketers.

The census looks at the amount and type of email marketing carried out by organisations, the way that email marketing is conducted, issues affecting the industry and the effectiveness of email compared to other digital marketing channels.

Almost 900 respondents took part in the 2010 Census, which took the form of an online survey in January and February 2010.
