Mobile adoption continued to increase, but as a whole, email marketing continued to try to climb uphill toward a goal of hyper-relevant marketing. The challenge continues to be organizations willingness to invest in the channel outside of basic 1:many email segmentation.

Email Moved Slowly

Page 20: Plan Ahead for the Top 2015 Email Trends

This makes the picture look good, but when you dip into the numbers, it’s about what marketers believe is personalization and what is advanced tactics.

You (or Your Clients) Undertake Any Form of Personalization In Your (or Their) Marketing Activity?

Page 21: Plan Ahead for the Top 2015 Email Trends

I'd venture a guess that respondents' definition of email personalization is fairly basic. Many marketers are still using batch and blast tactics for their emails and are often limited in their personalization efforts to merging data fields, such as name and company that are available in their CRM systems.

- Mike Harris Monetate

Through Which Channels do You Personalize?

“ “

Page 22: Plan Ahead for the Top 2015 Email Trends

Many believe that personalization is a way to appeal to the consumer. The challenge is that the presence of mere personalization in an email communication does not fully resonate with the consumer. Segmentation must be used to personalize data driven content.

Balancing Personalization With Segmentation

Page 23: Plan Ahead for the Top 2015 Email Trends

We’re encouraged by companies using advanced data outside of email response data (RFM) and would see this behavior continuing as Big Data applications propagate the marketplace.

Segmentation Is Making Some Strides

The Age of the Consumer

Email continues to be at the center of marketing efforts for companies in communicating with their customers.

•  Law is based upon a strict idea of consent between implied and express consent with consent being the primary rule of law

•  Pre-Checked boxes are no longer consent

•  It affects not only email, but program downloads

•  Limited term to gain permission

These are consistent with prior years, we would like to see more action associated with this even in a alpha/beta testing stage to start small instead of sacrificing the now for the perfect.

Here Comes 2015…priorities

2015 is going to be around the discussion of the 1:1 addressable customer

Page 30: Plan Ahead for the Top 2015 Email Trends

Relevant Content is at the core of all our marketing efforts…

Page 31: Plan Ahead for the Top 2015 Email Trends

The struggle that companies face is that customer data is in disparate places with inconsistent unifying information because email is moving from a channel to an identify (Pii)

Page 32: Plan Ahead for the Top 2015 Email Trends

How do you address a consumer...

…when they have 3 addresses

Page 33: Plan Ahead for the Top 2015 Email Trends

This must change and must be tested

Page 34: Plan Ahead for the Top 2015 Email Trends

Not starting with an addressable customer

means you end up spending a lot of money on a small group of people

What Does All This Allow You To Do Your Job

Page 40: Plan Ahead for the Top 2015 Email Trends

•  Score your program on how good you can address your subscribers

•  Look at your current acquisition strategy

•  Participate in the “one view of the customer” conversations

•  Look toward progressive profiling and gathering information

•  Onboard your customers

Page 41: Plan Ahead for the Top 2015 Email Trends

1.  Develop a clear goal that you want to accomplish in 12 months •  Post this goal in a prominent location to remind you. Make it something

you’ve never tried but suspected could increase response

2.  Pick one email a month to test something besides an effective subject line •  Have a different creative or element within the email that matches the

audience for this test…other than an effective subject line

3.  Segment one email a month by a profile attribute •  Target by gender, past purchase, repeat purchase, new to file, age of records

4.  Read 20 minutes a day •  There’s a lot of material out there from noted authors on email marketing and

digital marketing. Email me if you want a list of authors or sites •  Educating yourself on current trends gives you more ideas for expanding your

program

5.  Attend one webinar a month •  There is a wealth of information on the internet and the thought leaders in the

space are talking all the time. Subscribe to popular websites and sit in on a webinar. It will expand your ability to create new visionary ideas
