Music for Mailing

Hello All,

We know that finding inspiration for that next GetResponse campaign can sometimes be difficult.  It’s not like you can just command the creative juices to start flowing! Well, we polled the team and they all suggested the same thing − turn on some tunes!

So here are a few songs to get you in the mood, or at least “thinking inbox”.  Maybe the power of music and positive thinking will create a “hit” for you!  Please let us know if we missed your favorite “mail” song or if you try one and get fantastic results!

The Beatles – Please Mr. Postman
Bing Crosby / Bob Scobey -  I’m Going to Sit Right Down & Write Myself a Letter
Elvis – Return to Sender
Marty Robbins – The Last Letter
Lee Morse – Love Letters in the Sand
Hank Ballard – Teardrops on a Letter
Little Richard – Send Me Some Lovin”
Boxtops – The Letter
The Beatles – All My Loving
The Beatles – P.S. I Love You

Getting TOO Personal? Or Not Personal Enough?

Now don’t get me wrong, creating a “personal” relationship with prospects and customers is HUGE and proven to generate more sales and sign ups based on the trust you’ve worked hard to create.  But let’s be truthful…doesn’t it turn you off when a vendor or spammer uses your first name in the subject line, like you’re best friends? It’s a bit slimy and the feedback we’re getting is telling us that it’s turning off customers left and right. So it really matters Who does it and How it’s done.

Daniel Brzezinski

Today we’d like to introduce you to Daniel Brzeziński, the Product Manager for GetResponse. Daniel is fluent in the latest Internet and social media marketing techniques and applications and is a major force behind the improved ease of use and interactive features of GetResponse 6.0.

Daniel is originally from central Poland, but now resides near GetResponse HQ in Gdynia, on the coast. He was brought onboard for his advanced knowledge of SEO / SEM, but his expertise in web development and design soon became apparent, and Daniel quickly moved into the Product Manager position to help build out the GetResponse 6.0 feature set. His fresh ideas and technical insights made an immediate impact, and he passed with flying colors.

Daniel‘s first love is spending time with his wife and newborn son, but he also has a passion for reading and eating great food, especially pasta.

As GetResponse evolves, you can be sure Daniel will be pushing all of us to deliver the best email marketing services on the planet.
