Welcome to What We're Reading, a weekly rundown of news stories, marketing columns, and specific B2B industry news that caught our eye.
Crafting more effective B2B emails
Email is still the tried-and-true communication channel preferred by B2B marketers. Click-through rates are 52% higher for B2B emails than for B2C emails, but a good B2B email should be authentic and serve as more than a sales pitch. Learn how to boost your click-to-open rates with these tips from Business 2 Community.
The importance of data quality
B2B brands are spending more on data quality, and in turn are receiving positive results in performance and sales. Investing in accurate and high-quality data is a fantastic way to gain useful insights and sales prospects. Learn more at MediaPost.
Overhaul your work habits in quarantine
Self-isolation can be lonely, but it can be a good time to assess your habits and routines. Habits comprise about 40% of our daily behaviours and shape almost every aspect of our lives. Fast Company has some strategies to help you change or update your work habits.

Did you know that the average person touches their face once every 2.6 minutes? That’s a big no-no in COVID-19 times. That’s why a Brussels ad agency created a fun and educational face filter for Snapchat that warns you every time you touch your face. See the filter in action at Ads of the World.
