Nearly 90% of marketers surveyed said they still feel the affects of the recession and 75% said the recession has hurt their business.
Email marketing services provider Silverpop surveyed 300 email marketers in November and found 36% of them didn't think the recession would end anytime soon, although only a fifth thought the economy wouldn't improve before the fourth quarter of 2010.
Four out of ten marketers reported that their email budgets in 2010 would increase but 47% said their budgets would stay the same.
