Speaker:
Felix Lin
CEO and co-founder of Qurb, Inc.
Amazon. Bank of America. E-Trade. The Gap. The Wall Street Journal. Businessweek. These and other organizations rely on e-mail for communicating with customers, through coupons, newsletters, updates, confirmations, news, special alerts, offers, and other outbound messaging. The expense of direct mail has given way to new, more cost-effective digital campaigns and CRM. Yet marketers are finding that response rates have dropped to only 1% and are left wondering has creative gotten worse or is something else at work. Although users have opted in to receive information, legitimate marketing communication is being thwarted by many of today’s anti-spam solutions. Blocking legitimate opt-in e-mail along with unwanted junk mail is a growing problem, as content filtering products trap false positives and significantly degrade the effectiveness of today’s e-mail marketing campaigns.
