What Email Marketers Need to Know

Image
By

Three new how-to guides recently added to WebMarketCentral offer valuable guidance to email marketing practitioners. Since I don't know everything (as if that wasn't obvious!), these have been authored by some veteran professionals in the field: Dan Forootan, president, and Neil Anuskiewicz, sales director at hosted email marketing platform provider StreamSend.

Selecting an Email Service Provider (ESP) provides a list of the top 10 criteria to consider when choosing a hosted email marketing platform for your organization. Key considerations include deliverability, reporting, list management and split testing capabilities. Price makes the list—at number 10.

Email Marketing Best Practices offers five tips to maintain high deliverability rates and avoid being perceived as a spammer. These include techniques for proper list building and maintenance, message design, list segmentation and complaint handling.

Finally, Using Google Analytics to Track Email Campaigns shows you how to use campaign management features within Google Analytics to track not only the number of visitors generated by your campaign, but also the number of pages they visited, average time on your website, percent of new visitors to your website and the average bounce rate—useful statistics that may not be provided by your email service provider. Understanding visitor behavior enables you to more effectively provide the information your buyers are seeking, keep them on your website longer, and increase conversion or purchase rates.

Web 2.0 Social Tagging Sites, Part 6: Tier 2 Sites

By
Here in the second of three posts on the effectiveness of specific Web 2.0 social bookmarking sites at driving B2B website traffic, based on my two-month test, are the mid-tier sites. These sites drove a meaningful though not large volume of traffic across the half-dozen B2B websites and blogs in the test. In ascending order, the mid-tier sites are: 7) Newsvine Though much more heavily-used than WireFan, results were similar. Categorization of news items is helpful but overly broad. 6) Simpy Works better with IE than Firefox. 5) MarkaBoo Clean design, easy to use, respectable results. 4) NowPublic News-oriented, a great place to expose user-targeted, thought-leadership PR. 3) del.icio.us Given it's incredible popularity, B2B traffic results were surprisingly second-tier (though near the top of this group). 2) RawSugar Primarily for blog promotion, but works for B2B thought leadership content as well. 1) Reddit The best of the second tier, though the delay it im...
