I am not using email myself, as I have found it has a tendency to get lost or dumped.  Often, without reading.  Social media allows me to reach more people quickly and far more effectively...but know your clients and who needs what type of communication and information delivery.

In coffee, we all look for return customers, but, we also need new customers.  I would say 40% return and 60% new. (more) In coffee, we all look for return customers, but, we also need new customers.  I would say 40% return and 60% new.
