The ongoing saga of re-branding Hotmail is fairly convoluted as you can see in the diagram above. However, Microsoft may have nailed it this time. Earlier this month Jessica Hastings wrote about "our outlook on Outlook.com." Here's a follow up from a deliverability perspective. What is Outlook.com? You may be asking yourself, "Are they trying to make Hotmail more like Outlook, as in the Outlook I use for work?" I'll admit at first I thought so too. But it's more of a...

If your company has an online community that you’re encouraged to participate in, on what day will you get the most bang for your activity buck? We recently did a bit of data crunching on our own Topliners community in response to a member’s comment that you could tell it was a Friday based on all the activity happening on the community. Our 2012 data showed us that mid-week is the busiest time on our own community, with a peak on Wednesday. Sorry, Jennifer, Friday’s...

Recently, several top brands have been including tall, self-contained promotional banners at the top of emails, claiming more real estate than what is usually allotted to preheaders, headers or navigation bars. For the past several years, creative best practices have called for primary messages in which all of the key points - and certainly the call to action - fall "above the fold" in an email preview pane, or above the point in which a subscriber would have to scroll down...

Role accounts make up a small percentage of every distribution list and are especially prevalent in the world of B2B. These are email addresses such as sales@, info@, etc., and were built for efficiency and functionality, definitely not one to one communications. With engagement playing such a heavy hand in reputation today, one to one communications are more essential than ever. New School Marketing is all about building relationships. Wouldn't you rather build that...

After working hard on creating an email campaign, crafting the perfect copy, choosing the best images, did you check to see how it would look on a mobile device? It might seem like a trivial activity, but data shows that making your email “mobile-friendly” is fast becoming a “must” on your checklist. Around one-third of email accessed in 2010 was done using a mobile device, according to comScore. And as you can imagine, that number is going up Just as importantly, people are...

We've hit spam traps, and now we're blacklisted! Marketers first ask the question "How did we get spam traps on our list?" followed by "How do we remove these spam traps from our list?" Unfortunately spam traps don't make themselves known, and finding them in a list of thousands or millions of recipients is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack. Registering spam trap hits are generally an indicator of a greater systemic problem and not the problem itself. How Spam...
