Yes I read some marketing emails, the ones I don’t unsubscribe from. Many brands and stores are completely online, and email is the quickest and least invasive way to keep in the loop. For example, I collect vinyl, and I stay subscribed to a few of the stores I frequent that I know when they have good deals or send personalized discounts for repeat business. Others are local breweries and businesses we like. It’s the easiest way to get notified about events, new releases, etc.
I don’t read any email unless I specifically search for it. Not even at work.
This would get me fired on an almost daily basis. Weekly for sure. Different people need email for different things.
