Today’s guest post comes courtesy of Randy Ilas, Vice President of Product Development & Marketing at Harte-Hanks, an Eloqua partner. Randy is experienced in developing insight-driven demand generation programs for the b2b technology sector. Few marketers would argue with the premise that “less is more” when it comes to delivering the right leads to sales.

In the online marketing world, you’re only as good as the content you create and the network you share it with. It’s no wonder that so many B2B and B2C brands have intensified their efforts to grow online influence and reach influencers through social media. Measuring online influence is a difficult task at best. For the most part, marketers have been constrained to piecemeal metrics like page views, followers and likes. But now a cottage industry of startups that help...

In sports marketing there’s little that takes precedence over the all-important up sell. Sports teams – and the arenas they play in, for that matter – are constantly thinking up new ways to turn the casual fan into a season-ticket holding, stat-quoting, all-star fan for life. Adrian Chang, a Customer Success Manager, works closely with Eloqua’s premier sports clients – teams like the Boston Bruins and the Miami Heat. Recently, Adrian broke down 4 steps teams must make to turn...

How are you measuring marketing’s performance? If you are like most marketers, you’re proud of all the ways you measure marketing – pageviews, visits, visitors, click-through rates, open rates, bouncebacks, unsubscribes, size/growth of the database, cost per lead, etc. The list is nearly endless. But are you measuring the things that your CEO and CFO care most about: marketing’s contribution to revenue? Is your marketing team respected in the organization for generating new...

What a difference a month makes! On May 25 all the countries within the European Union were supposed to enact a directive requiring anyone doing business in the region to get opt-in permission to track consumers online. Already the United Kingdom’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has seen a steep drop off on visitor tracking. Last week, Google Analytics expert, Vicky Brock, posted this chart showing that since the UK implemented its own version of the law the ICO can...

Today was enactment day in the European Union, the date when member states were due to roll out the region’s new opt-in privacy requirements for businesses wishing to track consumers’ behavior online with tools like cookies. We already dispelled some of the common misconceptions about these regulations earlier today. But a blog benefits from a diversity of voices.

Today, May 25th, is the day that all member states of the European Union are expected to enact region’s new privacy directive, which requires businesses to get explicit permission to track online users’ behaviors. Some might say it’s doomsday for cookies. But, like other very recent end-of-the-world predictions, the day will probably come and go without much fanfare. Nevertheless, the new directive does mean changes for marketers in the EU. With that in mind, we thought we’d...
