Va multumesc anticipat si va doresc intregului colectiv multa sanatate,succes si fericire!

Cu toata consideratia si stima mea!”

De multe ori, in Email Marketing, vorbim si de loializare, solutii si strategii de loializare. O strategie de comunicare construita pe valori precum transparenta si onestitate. Provocarea apare atunci cand nu stii cum sa reactionezi la acest tip de mesaje (feedback).

Email is a very versatile medium that can include customer acquisition (lead or sales), retention, cross-selling, up-selling, and more. But most everything out there that provides guidelines, best-practices, and advice on the application of the channel to your marketing efforts are largely geared toward bigger businesses.

DNS Records

Technical standards through which ISPs and other mail gateway administrators can establish the true identity of an email sender. Examples of proposed authentication standards include: SPF (PO Box, AOL), Sender-ID (Microsoft), DomainKeys (Yahoo), and DKIM (Cisco and Yahoo)

SPF – SPF (Sender Policy Framework) compares an email sender’s actual IP address to a list of IP addresses authorized to send mail from that domain. This list is published in the domain’s DNS record.

“The number of worldwide email users is projected to increase from over 1.4 billion in 2009 to almost 1.9 billion by 2013. In 2009, 74% of all email accounts will belong to consumers, and 24% to corporate users.

Worldwide email traffic will total 247 billion messages per day in 2009. By 2013, this figure will almost double to 507 billion messages per day.

In 2009, about 81% of all email traffic is spam. According to our projections, a typical 1,000-user organization can spend upwards of $1.8 million a year to manage spam.”

The number of email messages sent in 2009 – 90 trillion :)

Inainte de toate, de cand am inceput sa ma implic in Email Marketing, una din preocuparile mele a fost sa analizez newsletterele de pe piata (aici vorbim de .ro, dar si de .com). Am ajuns sa primesc sute de mesaje, newslettere sau alerte, toate grupate pe diferite segmente (eCommerce, corporate, media etc.).

Uneori se poate intampla ca, din greseala, chiar daca m-am abonat la newsletterul respectiv, sa dau click pe * Report SPAM ( din @gmail.com ). Astfel, dincolo de simpla actiune de * Report SPAM, cei de la Gmail au activat un tool care analizeaza reputatia senderului. Este prima data cand vad un astfel de mesaj.

Unsubscribe from * Sender ?

In addition to marking this message as spam, Gmail can attempt to automatically unsubscribe you from * Sender, by sending an unsubscribe request on your behalf ( unsubscribe and report spam / report spam / cancel ).
