Greetings Rainmakers!
It’s not just the Texas weather heating up at RMDS this month. We’ve had some great customer success stories — recently we’ve been using SMS solutions for some of our customers to boost mobile engagement. We’ve seen some useful platform updates, too, including a customizable preheader for RainMail (my personal favorite). More changes are coming in the next couple of months.
On with the Monthly Dispatch.
This month, we’re bringing you news and tips from around the web, in addition to spotlighting one of our own clients who came on our Digital Marketing Done Right show.
