Email is still one of the
most important elements
of a solid online marketing
            plan
Email is the
                            preferred
                            channel for
                            direct, one-to-
                            one marketing
                            communications
                            with consumers

  increasing their email
marketing budget in 2011 -
32% are keeping their email
 marketing budget steady”

What works in 2012
Permission, permission,
     permission
No permission, no email
• Do you really want
  them to think you’re
  this guy?

• Because it’s legal
  doesn’t mean that it’s
  a best practice

• Always ask permission
  first!

Permission is not enough…

Test, test, test
Testing increases ROI
• Small changes can make a big difference in results
  • subject line, sender name, offer placement…


• Testers achieve 68% higher return over non-testers
  (JupiterResearch)

• Good news: most marketers don’t test ;-)
