Go for it

There is little doubt that the budget has set the tone for a number of years to come. The only argument seems to be for how many. Whilst it is wrong to suggest that the degree of retrenchment comes as a shock it does give the feeling that belt-tightening is now official. Times are hard … READ MORE »

Steam power

Email marketing is a bit like steam powered ships. The advantages are so overwhelming that it is tempting to start anew, wipe the slate clean and seek other clichés. But care should be taken. I don’t want to extend the analogy too far but for many years boats had steam and sail power, getting the … READ MORE »

All bounces are not equal

Jargon can be a problem for those engaged in email marketing. All you want to do is to increase the size of your email lists but it sometimes seems that you need a dictionary beside you all the time. Terminology can be confusing especially if it uses familiar words to describe events where they have … READ MORE »

Do as you are told

It is one of those things that people say: ‘There is nothing more irritating than . . .’ Whilst they may, without an awful lot of thought, accept it was an exaggeration, there is nothing more inclined to lose a customer than irritating them. You might be able to understand why the shop’s sales staff … READ MORE »

All in-house

An in-house email list has a major advantage over a bought in one: it gives a much higher return. This is due in the main to two factors, the first being that, with the use of email marketing software, any campaign can be targeted and secondly, you start with a relationship right from the beginning. … READ MORE »
