I predicted some time ago in our ‘Future of email’ guide that the ‘create, send and view’ experience would be within one place. Mailchimp and other ESPs will create their own email inboxes, to counter the limitations of Gmail and Outlook, and enable email marketers to design fully-HTML supported emails.

The world of email changes so fast, so it’s crazy to think what ten years could bring! There will be more AI, automation, graphics designed for you, etc. Creating an email will be super easy. Testing will be easier. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for email marketing.

Having survived the hail firestorms and alien dinosaur invasions from 2020, 2030 will showcase a new level of email technology wonder. AMP became a standard for email just 3 years earlier, and today email marketers create campaigns with enhanced personalization and the ability for custom, two-way feedback as part of standard course. Custom coding is now obsolete, as email clients are optimized to follow industry guidelines set in 2029, thus allowing all ESPs to offer WYSIWYG builders with unlimited design options. In a stunning turn, Microsoft Outlook and Internet Explorer have been banned from all computer operating systems, including Windows 32.

Email has been around a long time. It hasn’t really changed that much. So I don’t think pure email will change that much. With people using platforms like Slack and Facebook I think we’ll go much more platform-centric in our communication and use email for more important conversations from businesses and colleagues. I also think we’ll have a platform or app that puts all our communication in one place. Facebook, Slack, email, Twitter, Messenger, etc will all “land” in one place to make it easy to see all of your communication at once.

In 2030 social media has been regulated and email is still the most direct, private and effective way to communicate with your customers.

More interactivity, so that every message becomes an actionable interface; and hopefully a greater willingness to respect the time and attention of the readers, not only because of legal privacy concerns but because companies finally understand that spam doesn’t pay.

If I look to the last decade, there isn’t much that has changed. We still use web design techniques from 1995 for building campaigns. However, the content is shifting. Emails are more personalized to the ‘needs’ of the receiver. At this moment we’re on the doorstep of personalization but it is growing rapidly.
In 2030, emails are still one of the greatest tools for direct selling. There will be more integration with online ads, social media and other platforms. Streaming video inside a mailing would be very nice. And maybe… just maybe… we change from xhtml to html 😉
