And the reason why email is king or queen is that out of all the marketing channels that are out there, social media, video, you name it, it's the only one where there's no noise. Now what do I mean by that? When you put a post on Facebook, you are in competition with millions of other businesses and groups and posts that are trying to get the attention of the people that follow you. When you have a listing on Airbnb, for example, say that you're lucky enough that somebody clicks on your listing out of all the other competition that are nearby, even when they click on your listing, Airbnb are still saying how about this, how about that, how about this one but with an email, as soon as the user, your future potential guest opens up that email and as long as you've crafted a nicely put together email, there's one on one communication. There's no noise, there's no interruption.
