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...

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:
- Timeline for Brand Pages
- Revamped Advertising Structure
- 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...

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...

ever-evolving world of social media can be a little overwhelming.
To relieve the pressure, we have put together some crash course
