Gearing Up for the Super Bowl

Football

Yes, February is approaching and that means another crazy month for marketers. Every February we are thrown into the whirl of not just celebrating the Hallmark holiday of Valentine’s Day, but also watching America’s favorite sport, football. With football pools underway, many cannot wait to watch the approaching Super Bowl. Every year, businesses pay tons of money to put ads on TV during the famous game. But as a business, something to think about is your other outlets of marketing. Think of marketing on social media outlets with hashtags. For example, if you are looking to market certain tweets or Facebook posts during the Super Bowl, then use hashtags such as #superbowlXLIX, #SBXLIX or you can even use hashtags for the teams. You can’t forget about the new ways of marketing and younger generations using these outlets.

Achieving Better Delivery

We know the importance of delivery and we want to help our customers achieve a better delivery.  In this post we want to talk about the different sending speed options that we offer with our software.  Not all sending speeds are the same, which means each list needs to have its own sending speed.  By sending just at default, sometime things get sent too quickly which can be a bad thing.  For more information, take a look at our FAQ section or you can contact your sales rep to get more advice on sending speeds.

Welcome, 2015!

New Year, new marketing?  This may be a question your company keeps pondering, and if so, think about emailing.  Traditional marketing seems to have made its way out and the new “in” form of marketing is social media and email.  This can yield a faster turn around for customers to buy or visit your business.  The better aspect of email marketing, or new marketing, versus traditional is the quick call-to-action.  People get your brochures, sales, promotions and updates all in their news feeds and in-boxes. With the proper subject line, personalization and content, you can create a great brand awareness.  Make a great first impression this new year, and start your company on the right foot.
