– Increased Spam and Phishing Attacks Tops List of Email Marketer Challenges for 2009 – Even More than the Economy
Increased spam and phishing attacks along with further email and image blocking by ISPs top the lists of marketer’s concerns for 2009, this according to a recent Goodmail-sponsored survey conducted by JupiterResearch.
The survey asked 202 email marketers which challenges related to the success of their email marketing initiatives over the next twelve months most concerned them. Marketers cited “increased spam and phishing attacks” as the most pending anxiety, with 53 percent of respondents calling it a top concern in 2009, followed by “further email and image blocking by ISPs” (45%).
By comparison, survey respondents were less concerned about “slowing consumer spending” (40%); their ability to stay relevant with subscribers (27%), or securing adequate budget for their programs (16%). Only 11% feel that their email programs are threatened by “increased consumer preference for social and mobile communications.”
