In creating an account with this retailer, I starting receiving their daily emails, but I didn’t engage with them. Why?

'One of my core beliefs of effective content marketing is to deliver content people actually want. Publish stories they actually will enjoy – to read and to share. To do this you have to follow a very small set of simple rules: Make it interesting. A great story. Relevant to your audience. An important lesson or a key trend. Make the reader the hero of the story.
