We gathered up some huge statistics about email marketing and how it is continuing to grow. We also gathered up a few quotes about “statistics”, so while the stats are impressive, maybe you should take them with a little grain of salt.
“There are three types of lies — lies, damn lies, and statistics.” – Disraeli
“69.420% of statistics are false” – Elon Musk
“There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics” – Mark Twain
And finally, “A recent survey of North American males found 42% were overweight, 34% were critically obese and 8% ate the survey.”
