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...

Today’s guest post comes courtesy of Seth Lieberman, CEO of SnapApp, a marketing platform used by companies to create interactive content to generate leads and drive revenue across the web, mobile, social and email. Email remains one of the most effective ways to cultivate, manage, and nurture leads, but on average, even best in class email marketing campaigns see only a 20% open rate and a 5% click through rate. In addition, far too often marketers have to sacrifice deep...

For a look at the Retail Email Blog's past Valentine's Day Season Finales, click here. In addition to the many retail-related Valentine's Day emails that have been hitting my inbox over the past few weeks, I've noticed several hospitality companies taking advantage of the holiday with smart messaging encouraging people to make this Thursday a...

With Superbowl XLVII quickly approaching, it seemed like the perfect time to review some sports team specific benchmarks. We took a deep look at the online activity for a number of sports teams in both the NHL and NBA, across the last three years, and then averaged the monthly stats for page views, emails, and form conversion rates. Not so surprising is that the activity is clearly highest during the peak of the regular season with all teams in the thick of the playoff hunt....
