Marketing Today (New Zealand DMA annual conference) — Auckland, NZ
Presented by Stephan Spencer, Managing Director of Netconcepts:
- Search engine optimization
You want to get to the top of the search engines? Ah… but which search engines should you target? What keywords are your prospects searching for? And how do you actually get your site to the top for those keywords and then to stay there? Learn the tactics that will make your site ’scream’ in the search engines - ethically and sustainably - without costing you a fortune ongoing.
- Improving conversion rate
So you’ve got visitors to your site, but will they purchase? Improving conversion on your site is an art and a science that involves a mix of clever copywriting, compelling offers, a follow-up strategy, meaningful metrics for measuring success, and more.

Email marketing
Email can get you in front of your customers and prospects without relying on them to remember to come back and visit your site. But pitfalls abound. Get it wrong just once and you’ll significantly trim your list and burn your relationships. Learn what it takes to make great campaigns and newsletters, get the permission you need from your intended audience, and then test your assumptions scientifically.

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.

How to Create Email Campaigns That Drive Action and Build Relationships
Learn how to develop objectives and strategies for implementing email communication campaigns that involve email newsletters and promotional emails.
Deliverable is a 2-3 month email campaign.
How to Decipher Your Web Trends to Maximize Results
Learn how to develop, track, maintain, analyze and utilize the large volumes of data available and turn that into useful information you can use to manage and optimize your business.
Deliverable is to develop historical data, current benchmarks and an understanding of what to measure, why to measure it and what it means.
Developing Strategic and Creative Methodologies For Increasing Results
Learn how to increase your conversion rate one step at a time. You goals are for prospects to make purchases, or subscribe, or register, or make referrals. Each of these goals is a “macro-action,” and you can measure its conversion rate. Every one of your macro-actions is composed of a series of smaller micro-actions.
Deliverable is to develop an efficient conversion system matching your selling process to your prospect’s buying decisions by dealing with real examples from your website.
Development Doesn’t Have to be Rocket Science
Learn how to communicate effectively with web developers about what your requirements are. Did you know that of all software development projects are failures? Did you know that 80% of development costs are incurred after the initial project is delivered?
Deliverable is to take your project from concept to wireframe, to storyboard to final prototype independent of what technology your company uses by effectively creating a prototype of an application you want to have developed.
