The document summarizes five new innovations that can boost eCommerce results: 1) DMARC email security standard locks down IP addresses to prevent spoofing and phishing, giving deliverability feedback; 2) Engagement engines build usage profiles in real-time and trigger targeted campaigns to shape user behavior; 3) Twitter Cards provide a rich media format for tweets to boost mobile downloads and click-through rates; 4) A/B testing in email allows testing new site features or layouts more quickly; 5) Geoconquesting uses geo-targeted mobile ads triggered when customers visit competitors to drive higher click-through rates than targeting own stores. Implementing these innovations could lead to boosts in metrics like active users, sharing, purchases
7. What is DMARC?
• New e-mail security
standard*, now used
by 66% of ISP’s
• Locks down IP’s (kills
spoof/phishing), gives
deliverability feedback
• Domain-level security
(ie, works with existing
email systems)
*Actually 10 yrs old, but now used by 66% of ISP’s, still pre-ratification of standard
sender
ISP’s
9. DMARC Results
Bottom line results:
• 20%+ boost in e-mail click-through
rates (CTR)
• Global view across all email vendors
• Visibility into phishing/spoofing attempts
(and the ability to kill it)
• Can be implemented in <1 week
12. Just think of the last app/service
that surprised you with how much
time it managed to get…
…did it send you 10+ e-mails/week
and you loved it even MORE?
YES.
13. Engagement Engines
• Builds usage profiles
in real-time
(“active”, “dormant”, e
tc.)
• Triggers campaigns
as users change
profiles to “shape
behavior”
• Engine = set it and
forget it; runs itself
14. Each day, customer actions (or
lack of) create movement
between cohorts…
Active
Dorman

2,104 users hit their 10th day of non-use.
390 users who were dormant
used the app.

17. Engagement Engine Results
Bottom line results:
• 220%+ increase in mobile active users
• 8-17% increase in sharing/virality
• 15% boost in purchasing
• Time to install – 2 weeks
FYI – Larger preso on this concept on SlideShare
19. Twitter Cards
• New rich media
format for Twitter
• “App card” displays
all info about mobile
app
• “Product card” shows
price, sizes, etc.
20. Twitter Card Results
Bottom line results*:
• 11% boost in mobile downloads
• 14% increase in CTR for products
• Time to implement – 4 days
* vs non-Card tweet
22. A/B Test in Email
• New site feature or
layout? Test in email
first!
• Select sample group
and control, send e-
mail, measure
• Time to A/B test –
days, not weeks
24. Geoconquesting
• Geo-targeted mobile
ad triggered when
customer visits
competitor location
• 28% more CTR than
targeting offers to
your own stores
• Now driving 32% of
all geo-targeted ads
25. Thank You! See You On The
Trails…

Editor's Notes
DMARC, which stands for "Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance", is a technical specification created by a group of organizations that want to help reduce the potential for email-based abuse by solving a couple of long-standing operational, deployment, and reporting issues related to email authentication protocols.DMARC standardizes how email receivers perform email authentication using the well-known SPF and DKIM mechanisms. This means that senders will experience consistent authentication results for their messages at AOL, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo! and any other email receiver implementing DMARC. We hope this will encourage senders to more broadly authenticate their outbound email which can make email a more reliable way to communicate.
Here’s an example of what you can do with a DMARC-enabled email infrastructure provider. This one is Message Bus.
