Can you hear weird grinding noises!? With each passing day, they get louder and louder. Before 2009 comes to a screeching halt, we’d like to take a quick look back. It was an incredibly busy and challenging year, but we pulled through together! So let’s hit the rewind button back to the January 2009 and see how far we’ve come!
One of the purposes of this blog is to share email marketing tips with you, but we want to emphasize that every email marketer, business, and customer base is different, so best practices should act as guidelines only when designing your campaigns. This applies doubly to the question of email frequency.
If you do a quick search, you’ll probably end up with a pile of contradictions, so we’ve boiled down what most e-marketing bloggers, analysts and ESPs are recommending, with the ever-present exceptions! Read more

The Team thinks we need to sing this jingle one more time…not because you begged for more, but because we think “relevance” is extremely important, but the topic can be a bit abstract and therefore easily dismissed. So what is “relevant” content?
We think it means information “pertaining to” or “applicable to” or (my favorite) “useful” to the recipient. For example, using your email analytics and behavioral stats to customize product offers, messages, template designs and conversational style to appeal to certain audience segments. In other words, the complete opposite of the “batch and blast” or “spray n’ pray” type emails of the early days, right?
About two weeks ago we gave you some stats that showed confirmed opt in improves campaign results. We received some good feedback on that posting, so we decided to keep the email marketing stats coming!
This time we checked video email results. We were pretty sure that most recipients prefer to see and hear from you, rather than read text. It’s easier, faster and more fun to watch, but we needed proof. After all, if video is so popular, it could make a big difference in your campaign ROI, right?
Holiday or not, these email stats are really starting to snowball! It was only this October that we posted the news GetResponse sends 500-million emails since the launch of 6.0! Today we checked our stats again to see how we were doing, and it had doubled!!! That’s a BILLION EMAILS sent since the launch!
If you haven’t seen it yet, we just redesigned our GetResponse home page!
The fonts and buttons are larger for improved readability, and we added more white space and colorful graphics so you can find your way around with ease.
We gave you some really big hints about the special holiday gift the GetResponse team prepared for you this year, but I guess the gigantic bolded text below gives it all away, so…
