Are You Spamming Your Customers?
Speaker:
Elaine O'Gorman
Vice President of Strategy- Silverpop
CAN-SPAM legislation mixed with consumer fatigue and changing permission attitudes have dramatically reduced the efficacy of email as a customer acquisition tool. Fortunately, email still produces valuable results as a retention marketing tool, due to its low cost, speed to market and ease of personalization. But as your organization concentrates its email marketing efforts on a more focused and relatively smaller audience--the universe of your existing customer base--there is a dramatic increase in the probability that messages coming from different parts of your company will overlap and conflict. Smart organizations are creating internal governance models that ensure a unified voice to the customer, while still retaining the flexibility that makes email a great medium.
The presentation will expose you to governance structures that work and give you a checklist of items that you should be looking at within your own organization, like:
• Branding consistency
• Channel management
• Frequency optimization
• Calendarization
• Organizational suppression

the Internet, not a mixed bag of results.Analysts agree, pay-per-click and monetizing the Internet local search is the key to success for online search.
