South Georgia Businesses learned the power of email marketing.

Albany Chamber of Commerce hosted a workshop to help business leaders learn the best way to plan, design, and send email campaigns.

They learned strategies they can use to get the most out of their email marketing and social media activities.

She says email marketing is better and more effective than regular email.
