Almost every time I hear about a company that wants to aggressively grow its list, inevitably, the terrifying topic of e-append or list rental comes up. I often hear that someone in a direct mail role did a "successful e-append" at one point in their career (usually 5 or more years ago) or rented a list, and that is why they want to give it a try. In today's environment of engagement-based inbox placement, these antiquated, old school list growth tactics are not only bad...

It's the beginning of 2013, and with it comes the traditional flurry of demand generation/business development/sales reps sending me emails on why I should buy their product/service. I can assure you: I really do read every one of the emails I receive, even the ones that end up getting trapped in my SPAM filter. I'm always fascinated to learn why a rep thinks I would be interested in purchasing their product and gauging how far off the mark they are. Yes, it's sadistic, these...

Not long ago I attended the MarketingSherpa Email Summit in Las Vegas. Overall it was a good conference with lots of good tactical content for attendees to take back with them and implement in their own programs. Some of the content served as great reminders that making some minor adjustments, and what may seem as obvious changes, can make big performance improvements driving real results. One aspect that stood out to me was that from email marketer's perspective it is...

If your inbox looks anything like mine, you probably saw quite a few email subject lines that looked like this around Valentine's Day: Symbolically speaking, the hearts within the first two emails fit within the context of the subject line, and one could argue are enhanced ever so slightly by the heart symbols. The third subject line, while personalized with my name, falls more into the marketing gimmick category, since if it wasn't for the upcoming holiday there would be no...

Smart Modern Marketers are employing all sorts of content assets to provide educational, informative resources. And while social media has changed the way people connect and engage online, email is still the core communication channel and a primary sharing tool.
