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....

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. Feedback Loops provide a path used by the ISPs to relay...

A recent post on Topliners sparked a lively discussion on the term "email blast." In short, it's old, stodgy and ineffective. 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. Here are four more that should go into the extinct category. Spam This is a no brainer but I need to add it here in the event it’s still being used. Some may...
