Sex with Data? An Email Marketer’s Tale

kiss If you came to this story for the headline you may be disappointed. Especially since it is about email marketer's focus on emerging trends (or lack thereof). So this isn't about email marketers gone wild you may ask? Nah, maybe next year. I had the great privilege and honor to be one of the keynote speakers at the Blue Hornet Lifecycle Messaging Conference (check out the tweet highlights) here in sunny San Diego last week.

multi-touch-attribution-study In my last column, I provided a very simple data tree model for tracking behavior from the send through conversion. It's a good model, but the truth is that things aren't quite so simple in the real world. In the real world, not all buyers will click directly from your e-mail to the website and purchase. Some might open your e-mail and make a mental note about the offer, then visit the site later in the week and buy. For others, it may take some combination of touch points, say an...

jonah-berger-headshot-lg-200x300 Jonah Berger, author of Contagious: Why Things Catch On, recently spoke at Shop.org Summit on characteristics that make products and ideas go viral. According to Berger, there are six STEPPS (Social Currency, Triggers, Emotions, Public, Practical Value and Stories) which, if incorporated, make your concept much more likely to be shared with others.
