OF THE WEEK



Email Still Effective and Efficient Tool

Despite average (b2b) deliverability of 20%, Email is still an effective tool for marketing with some caveats. Do not email from your desktop (Outlook, Entourage, etc). Use an Email Service Provider (ESP) to improve deliverability, and to avoid being (email) blacklisted by customers. ESPs provide easy-to-use templates or the option to create your own html email design, robust reporting (opens/click-throughs/opt-outs), and list management tools.

Cost is minimal for Constant Contact, Benchmark, MailChimp and others. And email offers can link to registration pages to capture prospect information.
