	<title>Why relevance, not reach, is the real driver of email performance</title>
	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/why-relevance-not-reach-is-the-real-driver-of-email-performance-170466a</link>

	<title>How to align your brand with purpose-driven consumers</title>
	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/196/423/221660.html</link>
	<description>Today's discerning customers have high expectations from the brands they choose to associate with. According to the 2020 Consumer Culture Report, 71% of customers prefer to buy from brands that align with their values, while 83% of millennials stress the importance of value alignment. When values don't align, customers will shift quickly and are not afraid to permanently boycott brands because of their stance on issues.</description>
