data-tree-image-091313 Last week Only Influencers published my blog post, "The Mindset of Great Email Marketers." In it I discussed the importance of leveraging data to improve your email marketing program. Some who read the post wanted more information on what data they should be looking at. Here's a quick article on data trees, how to create them, and how to leverage them to your advantage. A data tree tracks the recipients' behaviors from the send all the way through conversion. A very simple data...


How Do Consumers Feel About Gmail Tabs?
Justin Williams  |  Email Marketing  |  Comment  print  Email  Share it on Twitter  Share it on Facebook  Share it on LinkedIn
gmail-tabs Rates have been measured, studies produced, cries of doom heard, and questions raised since the rollout of Gmail inbox tabs in mid-July. But what has the consumer reaction been? "For most consumers, this is a welcome change," says Movable Ink VP of Marketing Jordan Cohen. "That's my takeaway from listening to multiple social channels."

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...
