List growth is a priority for email marketers and for good reason. Acquiring new subscribers enables you to build and retain your list's integrity while ensuring stable business growth over time. But, growing your list without an eye toward good deliverability can relegate your messages to the bulk folder, putting your existing customer relationships in jeopardy. New email addresses that bounce or cause your complaint rates to rise can prove to be more damaging than good. ...

How much is too much? It seems we get asked that quite often, so I decided to have a look at a way to answer that. I looked at the last 6.3 billion emails our customers sent and grouped them by customer and month to determine the average number of emails per month a contact in each of those databases were sent an email. I then looked at click-through rates for each of those frequency buckets. I found that you can certainly expect to see higher click-through rates when you...

Buyer’s remorse. We’ve all felt it at one point. Sometimes it’s a pair of ill-fitting shoes, in worse cases it’s a fixer-upper that turns into a money pit. Whatever the case, you definitely don't want to feel remorseful about your email marketing vendor. If you’re launching email campaigns, but you’re not seeing the results you expected, don’t blame the sales guy…yet.

Though the email industry has long since set the best practice for subject line length somewhere between 35 and 70 characters, today's Twitter-ized world shows a landscape shifting toward shorter subject lines. In fact, a recent Informz study found that subject lines with just 10 characters or fewer resulted in the highest open rates. A scroll through my inbox validates that this shift is well underway. I suspect that the past success of short subject lines has been due...

We took a look at the open, click-through and click-to-open rates amongst customers in select industries 'actively' sending email - meaning that every month they send at least 100 emails. Although most studies show email open rates consistently dropping, our data is actually showing that in most industries open rates are rising! Coupled with pretty steady click-through rates, you will notice a corresponding decrease in click-to-open rates. What's going on here? Are people...

You may have heard the term "responsive email" floating about recently, and for a good reason - people are increasingly using phones and tablets to check email. Most emails are designed for the desktop computer, and even on the smaller side, those designs tend to be more than 600 pixels wide. When the email renders on a phone, it is generally scaled down to at least half of it's original size, if not more. It can be hard to see the details in images, the text is small, and...

Last year was all about social media, right? Everywhere you turned people were talking about social. It dominated headlines. It was the hot topic at conventions. And several pundits claimed its popularity signaled the death knell for email. But is the outlook for email really that bleak? Let’s consider some facts and figures. The number of registered email accounts reached 3.1 billion in 2011, and is expected to grow by another 1 billion by 2015, according to The Radicati...
