When subscribers receive your message, the real marketing begins. Success depends on whether they 1. open and read your message; 2. click through it; 3. respond to your call to action. So if your delivery rates are great, as with GetResponse, and your open rates are running at about 20% to 30%, you don’t have to worry as that’s considered about average. Of course, it varies by industry but the point is − you can always improve by paying attention to a few of the “basics”.

Poor “Jane” is getting a bad rap when it comes to all-text email marketing. After all, it’s up to us to format our plain text emails so they’re really attractive, easy to read, and interesting, right? Too often we’re blaming less-than-thrilling results on the plain text format, when it could be our lack of content design that caused the “yawn heard round the world”.

So let’s go back to the basics for one blog and address the problem of “content” mapping or formatting, and why it matters to those of us who send all-text emails from time to time.

We really like announcing new GetResponse features! This time we’d like to tell you that there are two new ways to personalize in personalization module. Here are the new rules:

• Unsubscribe url – unsubscribe user from campaign

• Forward to a friend – enable sending message to five email addresses

The last one is great for adding more viral marketing to your campaigns. Urge everyone to use it!

The latest report from the GetResponse Analytics team has provided some great insights into the growing popularity of GetResponse Email Marketing around the world…and a few surprises!

Although North America is still leading with just over 50% of our customer market, some interesting growth is happening in other areas of the globe that could change things up a bit.

For example, Asia has surpassed Europe and now comprises 25% of our Email Marketing base, increasing the gap over Europe to 6% in 2009. Within Asia, the most significant expansion has come from India, which now boasts more Email Marketing activity than the UK. Perhaps this is no surprise as the world’s second most populated country?

We’re happy to report that both Oceania and Africa are entering the GetResponse Email Marketing arena at a good clip and we expect to see steady increases in their activity in the coming months.

We are proud to announce that GetResponse welcomed its 10,000 customer since the launch of 6.0 a few short months ago! We wanted to show our appreciation so we’re going to surprise the lucky client with a very special gift. Of course, the customer has no idea about what’s coming and why, so we hope it will be a pleasant surprise.

We’re also happy to report that GetResponse is experiencing strong growth across all regions and markets. While we attribute this to our reliable, affordable and easy-to-use features, there’s no doubt that more and more marketers are turning to email as a proven driver of high ROI.

So we’ll keep the good news coming and, once again, thank all of you for your support!

Many of you asked us to create a “current campaign information module” which would be noticeable while creating a newsletter or survey. It didn’t take long to figure out how handy that would be, so here you go!

Some of you may have noticed it already, if not, check it out.
