Wilmington, DE (PRWEB) February 14, 2012
In one-to-one interviews in informal settings, top marketing brains talked about email marketing tactics, strategies to maximize email campaign effectiveness, and using email to build customer relationships.
About the Interviews
GetResponse Community Manager Jim Ducharme conducted the interviews. As you’ll see in the videos, Jim employs a casual approach, fueled by his natural enthusiasm, to keep his interviews fun and informative.
The interviews were promoted with a Twitter contest that ran from January 25th through February 6th. GetResponse customers were asked to Tweet questions to be asked during interviews.
“I was blown away by the level of engagement we have with the GetResponse community!” said Jim Ducharme.” Dozens and dozens of questions were submitted – in fact, so many that we just couldn’t answer every single one of them”.

Advice from the Experts
Two themes appeared continually during the interviews.
Listening to customers - Effective email campaigns are more about what the customer wants and needs, rather than about what the marketer wants to provide.
Testing campaigns – The key to stronger sales is to monitor conversions, make improvements based on testing results, and retest again and again.
Performing these high-impact activities consistently means more effective campaigns and better ROI.
“Generating good content is as easy as mining the interactions of your customer-facing employees,” said Jim Ducharme. “They are the ones who know what questions your customers are asking! Gather those questions then generate content by answering them. You’ll be amazed at how easy this process is.”
