American Marketing Association webinar series — online
Inboxes are quickly becoming a new wasteland, filled with unsolicited, impersonal, useless, and often offensive messages. As a result, consumers have had to find new ways of coping with the suspicious deluge. Alias addresses and spam filters have become standard defense-mechanisms, while the definition of spam has evolved beyond not having permission, to not delivering relevance.
Yet many marketers continue to treat email as a “cheap” contact strategy for chest pounding and mass promotions. Rather than building trust, this impersonal carpet-bomb approach erodes hard-earned trust by branding the company as a “spammer” more interested in economies of scale than deepening relationships.
So what does it take to compete - and win - in this hostile environment? Join Stephan Spencer, founder of Netconcepts (parent company of GravityMail) for an information packed presentation.
You’ll learn:
- Relationship strategies to access the elusive “circle of trust”
- Essential techniques of effective campaigns/newsletters
- How Web usability and direct marketing principles combine
- Metrics for gauging success
- How to audit campaigns against best practices
- Case study examples. Plus some real stinkers
Who should attend:
Marketing Executives and Directors, Internet Marketing Managers, and others interested in learning the essentials of successful email marketing.

521,000 people were searching across the entire Internet last week for the 21,200 products you sell, and that since 99.3% of them did not know that you sold those items, they did not visit your site. And this cost you, $5 million in missed sales opportunities. Oops!
