Email Campaigns & RSS feeds Best Practice

"Email Marketing will overtake direct mail in volume by the end of 2006. In the UK in 2005, 4.3 billion marketing emails were sent out compared to 5 billion direct mail-outs."
[DMA, May 2006]

It is vital to ensure that you regularly inform your customers and donors that you are still in the marketplace and working hard to deliver what they want when they want it.

  

The methods through which satiworks can help you set up to ensure that this is in place are email campaigns (e-newsletters and targeted RSS feeds - which allow your customers the choice to filter the information that they receive from you.

We can assist you in buying targeted lists to your customer/donor profile and work with our preferred email campaign solution providers   to come up with affordable solutions that are user friendly and most importantly provide accurate statistics from which you can learn what works and what doesn’t.

"Plain text v html click rates – recipients are more likely to click on links in html emails, than plain text."
