Today's post is short, sweet and to the point. I received this email last week from Apple. The minute I opened it I grinned. I was looking at simple, compelling and superb marketing. I love it. Why? Instead of blatantly thumping their own chests for the App Store's 25 BILLION downloads (wow), Apple spun that success into a Customer Facing thank you and opportunity.
