Posted by Mike Ferranti

Shakespeare said “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” But would an email about that rose, by any other name, get as many opens or clicks?

Pundits have been heralding the “death of email” for over a decade now. Ever since Facebook opened up to the public, certainly. Not surprisingly, it hasn’t happened, and in fact, email has seen increases in use by marketers in the recent past. Not only does email marketing still represent the best ROI of any marketing medium (with returns like $40 for each $1 spent), but it continues to lead the way for e-commerce stores both for driving direct sales and branding. Case in point, InternetRetailer.com recently ran a case study about clothing retailer, April Cornell, driving sales with... Read More

Over ten years ago now, we had an idea: with all of the data clients were collecting about customers and their behavior, maybe they could use some of it to personalize their email. Today, various forms of behavioral based personalization and targeting have become more widespread –all based on a common principle: your customers know what they want from your brand much better than you do. It’s great to see that after all these years, marketers are moving away from stale, more academic models of how ideal consumers are “supposed” to react and replacing them with constantly changing...

Posted by Mike Ferranti

We recently wrote about optimizing send frequency for email marketing, and got a lot of positive feedback from all of customers and blog readers. To build on that, we wanted to answer one of the top questions on many email marketer’s mind: When should I send my marketing emails? The answer is actually pretty simple: Best practices help, but we, and most likely even you, just don’t know. The problem with asking questions about individual companies is that, as we’ve mentioned before, individual companies vary so greatly that making an across-the-board pronouncement is as ineffective or...
