Do Something About It: The Importance of Applied Analytics in your Email Marketing

We’ve offered you a tutorial on email analytics and identifying email-driven website traffic. We also explained the process of pulling the data off of Google Analytics and converting it into segments in the Publicaster and Professional Editions of the WhatCounts platform. If you are collecting data using analytics, then you have a lot of valuable information on your hands. But what are you doing with the data you collect? Collecting is not enough. If the amount of your mobile users is on the rise, are you creating content and designing email templates that specifically speak to that segmentation and render correctly on their device? We can also help you in person at our Summit in Atlanta.

Brands are also discovering that a lot of their 'likes' come from fake fans. Elliot cites blog posts from several companies that detected 'like fraud' ranging from 40 to 90 percent. For years, brand spent millions thinking that Facebook fans would be their earned media channel, but recently, Facebook has decided that the way to drive revenue is to force brands to pay to reach their fans. This strategy netted $7.87 billion in revenue last year and has left social marketers without a significant earned media solution -- so they think. From Brand Reach to Advocate Reach Facebook is not screwing brands the way marketers might believe.

People want real conversations and content from people they actually know, trust and like. Digital Print. “All media is optional,” proclaimed Seth Godin at the Ministry of Ideas 2013, a mischievous twinkle behind his mustard-yellow glasses.

Digital Print

“We have branded ourselves to death.” Coming from the world’s foremost blogger and marketing expert, statements like these might seem to give travel brands cause to feel more than a little gloomy – especially when considered in tandem with the fact that ‘a quarter of all content consumed today has been produced by organisations looking to add value to their customer relationships’ (Marketing Week).

Review: 7 password managers for Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, and Android

I hate coming up with them. I hate remembering them. I hate mistyping them four times in a row. And I hate getting locked out of whatever I'm trying to log into in the process.
