Imagine checking your emails in the morning, brushing your teeth in front of the mirror when suddenly, from over your shoulder, a friendly voice reminds you that you’ve received an email from your most important client. The voice isn’t human, though, but a smart speaker perched on the corner of your vanity unit.
With your toothbrush still dashing about your mouth, you mumble, “Read aloud, please”, and the voice of the future dutifully begins. Take Jack for instance, a businessman from Brompton, who started his day much like this, breakfast in hand, the smell of freshly brewed coffee filling the air, his Amazon Echo Dot recounting his unread emails as if narrating the morning news.
Lately, Jack had been missing out on crucial information because of his ever-growing unfathomable email influx. His customers often left unnoticed, their queries sinking deep into the abyss of ‘Unread’. Then, Alexa walked into his life, metaphorically speaking!
With her help, Jack’s emails were no longer a tedious chore but a delightful morning ritual, akin to the crossword puzzles he so enjoyed with his breakfast tea. And dare I say, who wouldn’t love a voice assistant bringing this sort of ease into their tight-packed schedules?
Not only are smart speakers revolutionising how we interact with our emails, they’re also giving marketers an untapped platform to connect with consumers in a more intimate and engaging way. It’s like having your cake and eating it – from the seat of an Aston Martin driven by James Bond himself while zipping down the scenic British countryside.
If you’re a marketer, this makes you Bond! The dawn heralds a new era, where words waltz out from our devices as comprehensible conversations, engrossing us in the engaging world of emails once again. Whether you’re a business magnate or an aspiring entrepreneur, these voice assistants can turn your email marketing strategies on their heads, making them more effective and interactive.
So, as we stroll into this brave new world, one question remains: Will we have the courage to embrace the potential of these pocket-sized oracles and revolutionise our email marketing? In a society obsessed with the latest tech gizmos, our moral then is perhaps to not just marvel at the shiny new tools in our arsenal, but to effectively utilise them for greater efficiency and engagement.
As we decipher the language of the future, every ‘Alexa, read my email,’ takes us one step closer to rewriting the rules of digital marketing, one email interaction at a time. The teabags are in the pot, the water’s boiling: shall we pour ourselves a tech-infused brew and see where the future takes us.

To Conclude
There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, you’ve just traipsed through the mesmerising future of email marketing maneuvered by smart speakers and voice assistants! Quirky, isn’t it? But before we doff our proverbial caps and bid adieu, let me finish with a little tale that lights our path forward.
I’m reminded of a good friend of mine, let’s call him Ernest. Now, Ernest was the sort of chap who’d never heard the word ‘evolve’ in his life – a caveman in a tweed suit, if you will. Ernest ran a small bakery business, churning out heavenly scones and dainty victoria sponges, the kind that’d make your grandma green with envy.
Now, our good friend Ernie was a stubborn old stick, a man who staunchly believed in tradition. While the rest of the world was zipping past the information superhighway, Ernest was still using snail mail – handwritten crawls on parchment paper – for his customer communication.
One day, I casually introduced Ernest to Alexa, my voice assistant. Though skeptical initially, Ernest was intrigued by how Alexa sorted and read out my emails. You see, his weary eyes were becoming as worn-out as a well-used cricket bat, struggling with the daily slog of written correspondence.
Tentatively, he tried. A cautious “Alexa, read out my emails” sounded more like a plea than a command. But as days turned into weeks, both Ernest and his business flourished, with the help of our sultry-voiced friend.
It was as if good ol’ Ernest had hopped into a snazzy DeLorean and leapfrogged right into the 21st century! His customers loved the responsive, near-instant communication, whereas Eugene loved the extra time to perfect his scones and a rest for his weary eyes.
And so, dear reader, the moral of the story is clear as a bright summer’s day: technology, more often than not, isn’t the cling-clang robots of our nightmares but a gentle assistant, offering a supporting hand.
While revisiting our email marketing strategies with smart speakers and voice assistants may seem like a voyage to the dark side of the moon initially, it can save immeasurable effort, time, and, not to mention, our precious peepers.
So, will you be the eager Ernest and leap into the future, or remain in the comfy but stagnant space of parchment paper? As you ponder upon it, just remember: we’re in an era where change isn’t an option, but a necessity!
And who knows, you might just find a friend in Alexa or Siri, they are far more amusing company than you’d expect! Decide wisely, folks, and remember, it’s time to give your smartphone’s cousin a chance to run your email sphere.
Because here’s a secret – the future is already knocking, smart-speaker in hand, ready to decrypt your email marketing, even before you’ve asked for the weather!
