8. Tell Us About Your Emails!
What are you emailing to your contacts?
What service do you use today?
How do you obtain your contacts?
How do you determine if your email led to a conversion?
10. How Emails Are Managed Today
• A site visitor lands on your website
• The visitor navigates to a form
• The visitor voluntarily provides you information
• You take the information and add it to a list manager
• Employees are then responsible for creating an email message and choosing the subscriber list
• Later, employees will return to see how ‘effective’ the email message was
• Employees will report open rates, etc. to the Marketing Director who will ask how many conversions
came from those emails
• Employees have to use tools like Google Analytics to infer the data or make a best guess
Employees have to use a lot of tools and put
in a lot of time to provide results that are
not as accurate as they could be.

Editor's Notes
GetResponse: “An email campaign is a coordinated set of email marketing messages delivered at intervals and designed to escalate a persuasive argument to purchase, subscribe, download, etc.”
Use it to gain greater relevance with the customer for the purposes of providing them greater value… i.e. purchase, subscribe, download, etc.
