Don’t let what happened to Best Buy happen to you

Earlier this month, Best Buy got slapped with a fine for not managing their email marketing lists correctly.

My guess is they had not integrated their email marketing/marketing automation database with their CRM database.

Rookie error.

So, how should they be managing this correctly? What is the best practice?

My business partner bought one of Apple’s new iPod Shuffles during the week.

Less than 24hrs later he received the following trigger based email below.

What a great example of ‘marketing automation’ from Apple Australia on using both customer transactional sales data, with marketing data for execution of a targeted and relevant one-to-0ne direct email marketing communication.

Well done Apple!

Nice work.



Integrating Social Media into your email marketing

Filed under: Datarati, Email Marketing, Social Media | Tags: ,

Combining the forces of social media with e-mail marketing has been under way for some time, with savvy marketers using the two channels to complement each other rather than compete. As companies gain experience in the area, their choice of tactics may change.

A survey of small businesses by e-mail marketing company AWeber found the most common tactics implemented last year were tweeting e-mail newsletters and sending out blog entries to e-mail lists. Fewer than four in 10 small businesses were engaging in those activities, and only about one-quarter had e-mail sign-up forms on their social profiles or links within e-mail messages to follow them on social sites.

eMetrics Sydney 2010 – Presentation

Abandoned cart mails produce 20 times the transaction rates and revenue

According to a study by Experian CheetahMail, abandoned cart mails produce 20 times the transaction rates and revenue of standard email campaigns.

Others also report success with the tactic. For example…

  • Diapers.com said that abandonment emails generated over 10% of total email marketing revenue, but accounted for less than 3% of their outgoing email volume.
  • S&S Worldwide revealed “…a 25% conversion rate on personalized transactional messages focused on items left in carts.”
  • And SeeWhy’s Charles Nicholls is quoted as saying that Disney produces “…$2 for every remarketing email they send.”

This post highlights the main issues surrounding this special kind of remarketing email. It also links to reports and articles that will help you find further insight and examples of such campaigns.
