A quote from the executive summary on email marketing in travel industry:
If travel brands create compelling content, subscribers want that narrative in their inboxes. It has to find them, however, in just the right way. Optimization across different device types now goes hand-in-hand with content, and travel brands must align their e-mails (and landing pages) with the different sizes and shapes of the screens that their recipients use.
All of this being the case, the very concept of e-mail may be shifting. Consumers exist more accurately, perhaps, not in a world of neatly divided e-mails, texts, social-media posts, app notifications, and alerts but in a world of pushed content. In other words, the traveler may not care exactly how an airline’s or hotel’s message comes to them, only that it does. And they may well want it to come to them in multiple ways, all at once.
