Modern day marketers need to be aware that their brand messages are at risk of being swallowed up in the abyss that can be email marketing.
Modern day marketers need to be aware that their brand messages are at risk of being swallowed up in the abyss that can be email marketing. On average per person, per day consumers are receiving over 30,000 advertising messages, so it is essential that your business stands out from the crowd. Below are my essential, top ten email marketing tips:
According to Gartner, "by 2017, the CMO will spend more on IT than the CIO." Marketing's increasing reliance on IT combined with the shift to customer experience–centric marketing brings a set of core challenges—including getting a 360-degree view of cross-channel customer data to make the right decisions and accelerate business growth. However, for marketers to leverage data across channels, they need true data integration among customer-facing systems to equip the right stakeholder with the right customer data in real time.
When B2B marketers send out a typical paid tweet, they have to direct leads to a landing page with a form for their name, company, email and any other pertinent bits of data they want to capture. As any marketer knows, when prospects have to go to another site and fill out a form it increases the likelihood that they will just abandon the task.
It’s said that the average person is exposed to 30,000 marketing messages a day. To me that’s worrying news for us marketers – especially if it’s your job is to build marketing relationships with consumers.
TM Lewin has revealed that the average lifetime spend of its social media customers outstrips that of customers driven to its site via paid search.
Twitter began testing a lead generation tool Wednesday in its tweet stream that resembles a cross between a daily deal alert and call-to-action ad in search engine query result pages. It serves up in one of Twitter's Cards, the expandable display unit that allows brands to attach photos or other media.
Lead generation is becoming simpler in practical terms—it's easier than ever before to find and nurture prospective customers. But the forces driving it are complex, including the integration of marketing and sales tools and continued industry consolidation. -

"We only deal with that peripherally. We bring a degree of automation to marketing overall, with an emphasis on the relationship side where the ROI is high.”
As Opening Day chatter filled our Facebook and Twitter streams, the folks at Silverpop looked at what the Major League Baseball clubs were doing in social, mobile and email to see the interaction between the fans and the teams in the digital space.

Spring is in the air and another Major League Baseball season is upon us.

It’s Opening Day for Major League Baseball. San Francisco is home to the defending World Series-champion San Francisco Giants. It’s also home to Twitter and, in baseball terms, Facebook.

In the old days of email marketing, batch and blast was the most effective, not to mention the only, way to reach thousands of contacts at once. It was a reliable method, but it is no longer as practical or beneficial. Contacts are inundated constantly with messages and ads — whether it’s in their inboxes, on social channels or the web. Impersonal, irrelevant messages will receive a quick delete without a second thought.

Every year, the Grammy Awards show gathers all the usual suspects for a replay of the year’s favorite hits. Fortunately, outspoken celebrities in crazy outfits still manage to surprise us every time — sometimes with their songs, sometimes with their acceptance speeches. These two infographics show how the artists fared on social media sites before and after the show in 2013.
Social media has become an indispensable part of the music business. It used to be that winning a Grammy was one of the best way for a new artist to enter into the public imagination. Now, they enter through social media, and the Grammys naturally follow.
With the 55th Annual Grammy Awards taking place Sunday night, email marketing and marketing automation technology provider Silverpop examined how the six most-nominated artists — Fun, Kanye West, Mumford & Sons, Jay-Z, Frank Ocean, and The Black Keys — interact with their fans via Facebook and other social networks.

With all the focus on social media, it seems that email marketing is almost an afterthought for many companies. Email may not be trendy, but it’s cheap, easy to measure, and easy to target. It's a good place to do testing, it keeps your brand visible, and at the end of the day it delivers results.
It’s January. And that means a feature predicting the main trends for the coming year. Here’s Alex Aspinall’s take on what you need to be thinking about in 2013.
Whether a visitor to your website is coming directly from a social network or is just one of the millions of people who make social a part of their daily lives, offering the option of signing in with a social login (e.g., Facebook or Twitter) as an alternative to filling out a form has clear benefits.
Recently it seems as if mobile email has become the No. 1 discussion topic among digital marketers. What's the impact? How do you give subscribers the best email experience in order to get the highest engagement and conversion rates? How important is mobile optimization, anyway?
Christina Pappas articipated in the Friday #profschat Tweetchat on email marketing and was really interested to hear and learn about all the challenges marketers are still facing when it comes to developing and executing truly effective email campaigns.
2012 was the year that mobile devices issued a rousing wake-up call to marketers who had yet to appreciate mobile's tightening grip on consumers— or rather people's tightening grip on their phones.

For the past year, digital marketers have been trying to come to grips with the fact that 35 percent of all emails are viewed on mobile devices and tablets. Marketers are asking questions.
Big data; it's creating quite the buzz in the marketing world, and with good reason, writes Ellen Valentine, product evangelist, Silverpop.
Email marketing isn’t new or as buzz-inducing as other marketing channels like social media, but it’s still a reliable and effective weapon in marketers’ arsenals.
With the right approach to building a marketing budget, B2B companies can clarify their business development goals, gain organizational direction for marketing and position themselves for more profitable growth.
Ellen Valentine answeres, "In what ways is marketing integration impacting lead-gen, social media, display and other channels?"
Triggered email messages—the marketing appeals based on an event or action taken by a consumer, like a birthday or abandoned cart—yield 75% higher open rates and 115% higher click-through-rates than business-as-usual (BAU) emails. Yet triggered emails account for less than 3% of total email volume.
Email can be a powerful tool in the marketer's tool kit. Don't get it all wrong.
Early studies showed that Twitter contributed nothing to Thanksgiving sales this year, at least in terms of traffic to retail sites. But data from Black Friday and Cyber Monday continues to pour in.

The public is fast learning how to dodge and ignore the hail of political email, quickly diminishing the impact of what’s been a reliable and low-cost campaign tool.

Email isn’t just the elder statesman of the digital world. Email also binds all the disparate elements of a marketing program and bridges the gap between online and offline in ways that no other communications channel can. Granted, there are many brands out there that still do “batch and blast” emailing like it’s 1999. But there are also a growing number of brands that have created world-class email programs.
Email open rates have long been lamented by email marketers, retailers and CPG brands. According to one expert the root cause of low email open rates is ad fatigue - consumers see so many ads on a given day that they just don't want to see more. So, what's an email marketer to do?
