Notes de l'éditeur
- Noble studies is an amazing example of a successful small business in northern Nevada Founded 11 years ago in an extra bedroom of Jarrod and Season’s home in Carson City Michael Thomas joined three years ago when the team was only 11 people Today Noble Studios has 50 team members and growing another 10% in 2014

We work with client across industries, but are very fortunate to live in a tourism-based region and have a true passion for destination marketing. We are also privileged to work with several amazing travel and tourism brands, including Newport Beach.
- The Stones may be older than the hills, but they can sell out a stadium and jam for 3 hours. Rumors of emails death are greatly exaggerated.
- Facebook, Twitter, Instagram: all need an email address 2 28% of workers’ tasks were spent reading and answering email, according to McKinsey 64% of emails were opened on mobile devices in recent data. Estimates are that up to 80% of sharing of content is being distributed through email and text to small, off the grid user (private, personal) networks—including old-school copy and pasting into email
- Email fulfills multiple purposes in marketing Drive traffic to landing pages -> Get them to Opt into Email -> Nurture them till they are ready to purchase -> Once they have purchased continue communicating with them to retain or upsell customers -> Strive to turn them into brand advocates
- Canada: 48% Some countries in the 90 percents! But Spam isn’t anything new.

Consent: affirmative, express & implied (expires after 6 months / 2 years); no opt out! Must opt in. Talk about Double Opt in; Include a description of messages you’ll be sending; Include your name and contact info (all of it); promise that can unsubscribe at any time. Identification: clear id of senders and any other party involved in transmission (partners) Unsubscribe mechanism: each message include a clear, prominent, “readily performed” method. Most email platforms’ unsubscribe methods meet the requirements. And making it easy is just the nice thing to do. Storage and documentation: requires storage of type of opt in (email, landing page, signup, paper, etc.); example of signup webpage; date recipient opted in; connecting IP address, if applicable And if you’re not already gathering this data in your database, that means your email program is probably far from optimized

- It is SO easy to mark as SPAM: Essentially, in one step: mark as spam and unscubscribing It’s like they’re breaking up with you through a friend AND talking shit about you. Ouch.
- Bad news, no predictable magic tricks. Customers / recipients need to indicate you don’t belong in the promotions tab (more about this in the Pain Points session tomorrow) But your sender score or rating, is going to have a greater affect, ongoing. Dynamic RSS feed based emails will most likely end up in promotions tab (or junk or spam folders) It’s not just you: brands like GoPro, United Airlines and even Google Play ended up in promotions tab
- The old days: server sent the email to your client with Authentication: Yeo, you’re the Academy of Sciences, your IP record checks out, you’re in! Internet Service providers control spam and content at the pipe level
- A more recent layer of inbox protection: How many emails are you sending / month? How many are unsubscribing from your emails? How many of your emails are getting flagged as spam? ESPs are trying to help us avoid trouble with post masters and tools to help their clients manage their reputations.
- This is a glance at the last 3 weeks before the Tabbed inbox was launched and the first few weeks after launch Gmail’s weekday open rates dropped from about 13%+ to just over 12%--and held steady
- Gmail’s open rates are DOWN about twice as much as other ESPs’
- Being compliant and having a solid email program is like maintaining a happy marriage… Ru

- Define Strategy: set a goal for a campaign, for every send Timing: If you’re promoting it in another channel, promote it in email—and give your subscribers better access, offers Content: original content adds more value for your subscribers, Images can be great (but they generally will put you in the promotions tab)
- Landing pages: if your email is mobile responsive, so should your landing page It should look as awesome as your email and look like it came from the same brand Multiple landing pages based on who in your database clicks is a great strategy (Marketo and Hubspot make this easy)

- Mobile aware works too, but increasingly, we’re expecting email and landing pages and websites to look awesome on our smartphones.
- Acquisition: where most are focusing, exclusively—this is the bear minimum Most overlooked - Behavior: What are they doing once they click through: are their behaviors aligned with your goals? It doesn’t have to be a purchase—it can be loyalty (time on site and pages visited), engagement (they viewed and shared a video) Outcome: This is where you’ll measure ROI of email, not just did they get my email We call this Tip to Tail Analytics.
