Leaky Bucket? Strategies for Managing Unsubscribes

emailcampaign You've optimized your acquisition process; you're gaining new customers; you're sending them the content you promised when they signed up. You should be growing your customer base, right? Not if you aren't able to plug the leak on the other end. You may want to consider opt-down and other options, rather than a simple "Bummer, see ya later." There are three ways to do this effectively. Reduce frequency. It's entirely possible your subscribers don't want to hear from you every...


Say 'I Do' to a Holiday Email Planning Process

holiday-email Over Labor Day weekend, my brother-in-law got married. Despite the fact that he had what is considered a "small" Serbian Orthodox wedding (a mere 350 guests), I think I put more effort into his wedding than I did my own, when I had nearly 1,000 attendees. Why? First, my husband, all three of our kids, and I were in the wedding; that's a management feat in and of itself. Also, we hosted the Skup (wedding pre-party) at our house the morning of the wedding, for about 150 people. It...

email-growth I wrote last year about "Email's Place in the Emerging Entrepreneurial Economy" and with the 2013 Inc. 5000 list just released, I thought it would be good to take a fresh look at the email-related companies making a splash in the private sector and public markets. While much of the economy continues to sputter, the median growth rate of 2013 Inc. 5000 companies is an impressive 142 percent. The companies on this year's list report have created over 520,000 jobs in the past three...

customers Email marketers are starting to master timely messaging. However, this is as far as many brands go down the path of relevancy. Once the purchase confirmation, abandoned cart, or welcome program ends, subscribers receive the same treatment, as if they were all the same. But we know better. We can expand into even more relevant messaging by creating and using customer personas in our campaigns. Persona creation can be difficult to accomplish and difficult to actually derive benefit...


Size and Specialization?

emailcampaign I must start this column with a disclaimer. As the CEO of an Omnicom agency I cannot comment on and am not commenting on the Omnicom-Publicis merger. I also have no insider knowledge of the merger, just a perspective on the history of email in big advertising agencies. Innovyx has been owned by Omnicom for 13 years now. Over that time much has changed in the email world and also in the advertising and marketing worlds as a whole. So it was with great interest that I read Simms Jenkins'...
