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.

Feedback Loops One of the greatest tools we have in managing reputation and overall deliverability is feedback from our recipients and many ISPs provide us with just that via Feedback Loops.

In the modern email marketing world, blasting has no place in our vocabulary. No buyer wants to get "blasted." But it's not the old word associated with email that we, as marketers, need to drop.
