The other is a return to one of the original, basic promises of email, which was to build relationships using a soft sell approach. So you're top of mind when the customer is ready to buy.
Both trends still share a common basis. Namely that you need to deliver useful, timely, relevant, personable content. "The more things change, the more they stay the same."
