7. Investment Shows Priority
• 52% of marketing executives planned to increase spend
on email marketing in 2014. 46% on social media.*
• Email is more relevant today than ever before as
consumption continues to grow on more platforms.**
*Strongview’s Marketing Trends Survey Results
**Return Path’s “Mobile, Webmail, Desktops: Where are we viewing email now”?
10. Email Plays Well With Other Digital
Channels
• Increases engagement in social media and vice versa
• Optimizes well for mobile experience
• Operates more effectively when working with other digital
channels vs. in a silo
12. CAN-SPAM Act (U.S.)
Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and
Marketing Act of 2003 (CAN-SPAM)
• Regulated by the Federal Trade Commission
• Applies to Commercial Email Only
13. CASL (Canada)
Canadian Anti-Spam Law is stricter
than the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act and the
penalties are much stiffer for violations.
14. Privacy and Data Protection Laws
Email marketers must be aware of privacy laws that affect their
particular business:
• Affiliate sharing between brands
• California and Vermont
• European Privacy Laws
• Data Protection Directive
• Etc…
18. List Growth
All subscribers are not created equal.
• Add only engaged subscribers
• Unengaged subscribers can cause deliverability issues.
Best acquisition sources are always close to your brand
and shopping experience. Tell subscribers why they should
sign up for emails with your brand.
19. List Growth
31% of consumers in a recent Forrester study
said, “I often wonder how companies that send
me email offers got my name and email
address”.*
Stay away from purchased or rented email addresses. Only
acquire your list through opt-in practices and remind subscribers
of the value they’ll be getting by providing their information.
That will ensure that you have engaged subscribers and not just
a larger list for the sake of having a larger list.
*Forrester study: Consumer Email Attitudes Continue to Improve (2013)
28. Welcome Emails
Send the email
immediately:
After a customer has
made the effort to sign
up for an email
newsletter it’s a good
idea to send a welcome
email as soon as
possible to acknowledge
their interest.
29. Welcome Emails
75% of brands are sending their Welcome Message the
same day the subscriber opts-in. 13% send it one day after,
7% send two or three days later, and 5% send the email
more than three days later.

31. Segmentation Strategies
The days of “batch and blast” are over in email marketing.
Email marketers must segment lists in order to ensure that
the message is relevant.
32. Segmentation Criteria
Responsys Confidential
There are many different types of
information to segment off of.
Marketers vary on their most effective forms
of segmentation, likely due to how evolved
their approach is.
Isolating the most important segmentation
criteria is key to driving an optimized digital
communications program.
33. Reasons to Segment
• Out of the 91% of consumers opting out or unsubscribing
from email programs, 46% do so because the messages
are not relevant.
• 41% of consumers would consider ending a brand
relationship because of irrelevant messaging, and an
additional 22% would definitely end the relationship
because of irrelevance. -Marketing Sherpa
35. Mobile is Here
Among 18-54 years olds, 79% of smartphone users check
email more than making calls on their device.* 80% delete
a mobile email when it doesn’t render properly and 30%
unsubscribe.**
The web is no longer just a desktop experience.

**Blue Hornet’s Consumer Views of Email Marketing, 2013
36. Responsive Design
Responsive design allows
for superior rendering on
desktops, tablets and
smartphones. This
provides a great user
experience for subscribers.
37. Design 1. Enlarge fonts
• Minimum of 13px
2. Know your Scale
• Consider trimming your emails to
between 320-550px wide to reduce
scrolling
3. Call to Action
• Make it tappable. Minimum of 44x44
px
4. Streamline
• Simplify! Content real estate is even
more valuable
5. Cut to the chase
• Be short, concise and to the point
38. Design 7. Layout
• Optimize responsive layouts
8. Be Obvious
• Visually indicate that links and buttons
are clickable. Hover states aren’t
supported
9. Finger Targets
• Bigger is better. Use white space to
reduce ‘fat-finger’ errors
10. Ergonomics
• Remember mobile users are often
holding the device in their hand. Keep
important buttons, images, and links
within easy reach.
