by Karon Thackston ? 2005 http://www.marketingwords.com/emailmktg2006.html I have to admit, I'm a data freak. I love to see surveys and studies that show user behavior. That's just what this new report from Marketing Sherpa delivers with regard to email marketing. For instance, did you know? ? Moms place low value on testimonials in email copy? ? There are 4 things that those with high open and click rates do that others don't? ? The graphic design of an email can increase readability by 31% or more? ? 45%-60% of viewers will scroll below the fold of a long email?

If you're tired of guessing about email marketing, the Email Marketing Benchmark Guide 2006 will give you what you need to: ? Compare your opt-in, open, click, and conversion rates to your competitors' ? Redesign your email newsletter and sales alert templates to improve results -- based on Marketing Sherpa's new eye tracking laboratory email tests ? Compare your current stats to real-life email marketing opens, clicks, conversions for B-2-B and B-2-C mailings ? Discover what's worth testing (and what's not) ? Gather insights from specific behavioral traits of age groups including teens, moms and more ? Design email templates to boost average reading time and clicks ? Choose the best day of week to send email campaigns ? Unlock deliverability and spam filter problems ? and more There's a LOT of data in this report (over 265 pages of it), and it is presented in a very organized and easy to use way. What You Don't Get This is NOT a copywriting book. It will not show you (directly) how to write powerful copy for email campaigns. It will, however, shed a lot of light on what elements you should include in your copy and design. You'll also find out when to send, how to send and why you should send. While I love the information, I wish Marketing Sherpa would have included more of its insights on the research. They do a fairly good job of translating the data findings, but could - in my opinion - go into greater detail. It isn't that anything is lacking? it's just that there's so much more to say. Overall, I was quite impressed. The sheer volume of information in this book is amazing. At every page turn, I found myself thinking, "Oh really? Wow!" As with all Marketing Sherpa products, it comes with a 30-day, money-back guarantee.
