Bruno, I don't know about your market but I am inundated by so much email stuff that I delete everything unsolicited first and then read the 5 emails I have left. I think it's part of the be where everybody isn't and everybody is definitely in peoples email in boxes right now.

I joined your group. With very little experience under my belt, I doubt that I'll be able to contribute very much (sorry). I'm hoping to learn lots, though. Thanks

Seems that the spam filters are getting better. Even if you send out a newsletter... I get tons of newsletters and actually do not have time to read them.

The prolifiration of e-Flyers has the delete buttons going wild. They are more eco friendly than printed flers but still just as effective or should I say in effective. Other linking tools and crawlers are also more sophisticated on the search engines making things we were doing a year ago obsolete.

I would never suggest spamming :) - I think good old spam act compliant e-mail marketing is still very effective. The ability to measure open rates, test tag lines and so on makes it very interesting to me.

I receive various market updates from my Realtor that I 100% agreed to receive and they are quite informative.

I subscribe to various blogs via e-mail and I love checking them out in the mornings.

Of course i get a TON of Junk e-mail but i use GMAIL which sorts all of this for me :)

Spamming is a concern for the legit business person. We certainly don't want to get nailed by the spamming police.

Hi Dana,

Indeed Constant Contact and icontact i think are the two best ways to stay in touch with your network and with prospective clients.

I am VERY interested in this topic and would love to hear some reviews of email marketing services/methods. I use eflyers but I often question the effectiveness of them and wonder if it's a waste of money. Looking forward to more discussions on this topic.

I don't think that email marketing is dead. It depends on the method and the companies that being used to send out the emails. So many have been blacklisted. I also find that emailing in bulk is effective if and inly if the recipient is being directed to a landing page.

Bruno,

Definately need a glossary because I don't know what a landing page is. I'm curious too about whether e-mails are effective.

You might want to move to a more professional solution. www.QuickEasyContact.com is an easy to use bulk marketing solution that allows you to create professional looking emails and campaigns HTML without knowing any programming. When you use email services provided by your Internet service provider, you have no ability to protect you clients’ email addressees. This could crate a liability issue, it is not professional and there is no ability to track the metrics of the campaign.

Hi Bruno - I love email marketing. It has been hugely effective in my business. Sometime we spend a lot of time trying to get new clients and forget that our client database is gold.
