The last thing a business owner wants to do is alienate his or her customer base. This Direct Marketing News infographic suggests some surefire ways to reach customers in a positive way.
Did you know that according to a recent survey, 75 percent of participants said they hold a grudge against companies that bombard them with unwanted emails?

Twenty-eight percent of participants are willing to give their name to a company, while 37 percent are willing to provide their age and 38 percent are even willing to list their gender.
