4 Billion Emails a Day
How to make messages stand out in the inbox!

August 13, 2008


Each day, up to 4 billion email messages are processed through Internet Service Providers. 90% of those messages are SPAM and threaten the chances of marketers ever reaching target recipients. But what happens when your email does get delivered? Does it stand out and really get read? Find out why relevancy matters and what you can do to help stand out in the inbox.

Email is usually the single most cost efficient marketing tool to generate incremental activity from existing customers. This includes, selling more of the same product or service, selling other products or services and perhaps most importantly, building loyalty. Loyalty also results in referrals, which typically serves as the lowest cost to acquire new customers.

According to the Direct Marketing Association: "Commercial email's ROI will hit $45.65 for every dollar spent in 2008."

How do B2B & B2C marketers make their messages stand out?

Hear from a panel of experts on:
  • Why Relevancy Matters in Today's Email Marketing Landscape
  • How Metrics Influences Relevancy
  • How to Get Relevant When You Don't Know Your Target Audience

And many more relevant topics!

The first 25 registrants to arrive at the event will receive a FREE copy of Chris Baggott's powerful book: Email Marketing by the Numbers: How to Use the World's Greatest Marketing Tool to Take Any Organization to the Next Level.
