We are launching this whitepaper by engaging with marketers across the world using social media and blogs.”

The Five Resolutions Every Marketer Must Make in 2010 Whitepaper outlines five top tips for 2010 and provides simple, step-by-step recommendations on how marketers can achieve their goals; here is a sneak preview of what is contained in the report:

Be helpful and not just social
Online comparison sites, consumer reviews and discount coupons give consumers a hard bargaining tool for your business. Learn how to communicate the right messages to your customers so you are their first port of call

Engage your subscribers
Pay attention to your spam complaint rate, reactivate and weed out your inactive subscribers.

Treat subscribers like friends
Subscribers are individuals whose loyalty can make or break your company. Learn how to appreciate them as people, getting to know their preferences and treat them as more than just an email address.

Design for your subscribers
Email and marketing designs are more than just graphics and layouts. Understand how to create the perfect marketing communications and engage subscribers effectively.

Get back to basics
Simple email marketing best practice guidelines to encourage marketers to examine their marketing operations in the simplest format.

The 14-page whitepaper provides brief research based insight on how to build personalised and relevant messaging campaigns and how to extend the reach of email with social media, search engine optimisation and pay per click advertising.  The paper also provides insight on how email marketers can keep their emails out of the spam folder as internet service providers like Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo and AOL increase efforts to measure email engagement.

“In order to be successful today, marketers must engage with subscribers, focusing on what it is that they want to see in their inbox,” continues McCormick. “The whitepaper provides a quick, easy-to-implement solution to boost engagement and drive deliverability to new levels.”
