Editor's Notes

  1. A lot of marketers look at email, as the cassette tape of marketing. It’s OLD SKOOL, it’s kind of ANALOGUE. But do you even realise just what you can do with email? It’s incredible. And today I’ll share why this is, and exactly what you can do with this channel
  2. It is still the one thing you are asked for in a retail store, on a website, on a social network. It is central to most customer experience. And us email marketers, believe it or not, have been innovating just as much as the rest of the marketing world. Seriously. And today, I hope I can convince you to agree with me. Email is the consumer connector of everything
  3. So massively underused. Some think it’s ugly, but if used correctly and appropriately, it can be incredible
  4. All effective and useful to many brands, but you can take things way further
  5. Simulate in-store retail experience
  6. Lots of brands do this, but they don’t automate it. They’re missing a trick. Efficiency
  7. No automation strategy should ever be considered as one message. That approach = guaranteed failure. Automation is a series, by defaultDon’t just consider the number of messages. Consider all of the available channels. If you’re an email marketer, don’t be trapped by channel ‘silo’
  8. The listening channel
  9. One of the most common things I see, is email marketing behavioural data sitting in a silo at their ESP. Sequential messaging
  10. Your favourite things in your size, and in stock. Conversion rate soars
  11. Proposition is never hidden – maximum exposure = maximum clicks
  12. No automation strategy should ever be considered as one message. That approach = guaranteed failure Don’t just consider the number of messages. Consider all of the available channels. If you’re an email marketer, don’t be trapped by channel ‘silo’
  13. Did you know that you can specify where you want video to play, and where you do not want it to play? It can be device-specific
