Put the ♥ back in your subject lines

Posted by: Lisa Trifone
Thursday, May 3, 2012

There’s been a new trend cropping up lately in inboxes – maybe you’ve seen it? It’s full of love. Sometimes it points you in the right direction. Other times, it’s simply breaking up the information overload.

What’s the trend? It’s icons in subject lines, and marketers in every vertical are finding ways to use this eye-catching new tool to snag more opens on their emails.

It’s actually not that new. Since a fourteen year old first learned to text her friends, they’ve been putting the < together with a number 3 to create a heart. (It looks like this: <3 See it?)

What IS new is that all kinds of...

The Social Media Side of March Madness (#Infographic)

Posted by: Kyle Lacy
Tuesday, April 3, 2012

Today is a sad day and not because my Indiana Hoosiers didn’t make it to the final four. Today marks the end of March Madness. That’s right. It is officially over. The one month out of the year where colleges pull fans from all over the world to unite under one banner: the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. And every year millions upon millions of people watch players from all over the nation fight for the chance to be crowned the champions of the tournament. We watched, cheered, cried, and shouted with emotion that only division one basketball could create. However, it is over and another...

At their first fMC Facebook Marketing Summit the social network announced three core changes to their brand pages:

  3. Direct Messaging and Upgraded Admin Capabilities

The last group of changes and important (behind TimeLine) is the addition of real-time analytics to Page Insights and direct messaging for branded pages.

That’s right. We now have direct messaging for Page admins. I think I speak for all brand managers,  we have been waiting for direct messaging on branded pages. But more importantly, Facebook also announced the addition of...

From B2B to B2C You Are Still Dealing with An Individual

Posted by: Kyle Lacy
Thursday, March 8, 2012

I'm under the belief that pure story-telling, personalized data, and integrated marketing systems are the pinnacle of success for any marketing professional. Or at least it should be. It is the humanization of marketing systems that defines the next generation of marketing. However, there is one thing that reigns true over all - at the end of the sales cycle we are still dealing with an individual, a human, not a business.

I was reminded of this while reading the current issue of Direct Marketing Magazine. Tim Peterson has an excellent article defining and detailing the transformation of Dell's...
