An Introduction
First I would like to introduce myself, my name is Barry Scott I am the editor of the Adland Digest Newsletter. I would like to wish all celebrating members a Happy New Year and to start the year off right I am planning on implementing new features in the newsletter throughout the year to make it more interesting and interactive. Part of the new look is to list world wide holidays for each month which will be located on the left hand side of the newsletter, after all our community members are from every corner of the earth and it is great way for all of us to recognize all of our members holidays. Other new features will include "What's New at Adlandpro" and "Adlandpro Tips". Of course, as this newsletter is for and about you, I will welcome all suggestions on how we can improve it. I can't promise I will make all of your suggestions a reality, but I will implement what is feasible and positive for all readers. Through the course of this some changes will remain and some will disappear, that is the nature of the business and one that I am sure you will find interesting. If you have any suggestions on the types of articles or what you would like to see, contact me by email, I would be glad to hear from you.
Sincerely, Barry Scott |

Time to Plan for Your 2008
Email Marketing Success
By Karen Scharf
In order to plan for 2008, it's
imperative to evaluate 2007. Here is
the straightforward assessment I use
to critique my email marketing
campaign for the year. I suggest you
apply this evaluation to your own
campaign as you put your 2008 email
marketing plan together. Simply ask
yourself the following questions:
- What was the overall goal of
my email marketing campaign? Was
I trying to generate more leads,
make more sales, increase brand
awareness? What specific numbers
was I trying to reach and did I
attain the numbers I wanted?
(For instance, if your goal was
lead generation, exactly how
many leads were you aiming for
and how many leads did you
actually acquire?)
- If I did not achieve my
overall goal, can I pinpoint the
trouble areas? Are my open rates
below industry standards? Are my
clickthroughs lower than
expected? What can be done to
improve my email messages on an
individual basis? (If you don't
analyze your email messages on
an individual basis, you should
definitely plan to do that in
2008.)
- What techniques did I use to
grow my list and which of these
techniques were most successful?
Which were most time consuming?
Which were least effective?
Which techniques do I plan to
repeat and which will I drop
from my repertoire? (Remember
the 80/20 rule. Don't waste your
time on ineffective list-growth
programs.)
- How have I segmented my list
and how have I taken advantage
of these individual segments?
How can my list be further
segmented and what can be done
to increase relevance and
personalization? (As in-box
clutter becomes even more
serious, segmentation, relevance
and personalization will be keys
to effective email campaigns in
2008.)
- How often did I send useful,
content-driven messages? What
was my planned publication
schedule and was I able to
maintain this schedule? Did I
send too often? Not often
enough? Do I plan to continue
this same schedule in 2008?

- Which of my email campaigns
got the best results? Which
received the worst results? What
can I attribute this to? Subject
line? Content? Personalization?
How do I plan to improve my
results in 2008?
- What were my delivery rates
for 2007? How do these rates
compare to industry standards?
Where do the problems with my
delivery occur? Technical
issues? Hard bounces? Soft
bounces? Spam rejections? What
are my plans for increasing
delivery in 2008?
- Have I maintained CAN-Spam
compliance throughout my email
marketing program? How do I
handle unsubscribe requests? Is
my list double opt-in? Do I
include my mailing address in
all of my messages? Have I
ensured my SPF record is up to
date? (If you're not familiar
with maintaining CAN-Spam
compliance, request a copy of my
free CAN-Spam checklist.)
By reviewing the best and the worst
of your 2007 email marketing
program, you'll be better equipped
to plan an amazing campaign for
2008.

10 Ways To
Amplify Your Orders
By Dan Hall
1. Think of ways to get your site or business on the the news. You could sponsor a fundraiser, break a world record, hold a major event, etc.
2. Hold a contest on your web site. Give other web sites the option of offering it to their visitors. This'll multiply your advertising all over the internet.
3. Tell your potential customers that your ordering system is highly secure. Also, reassure them that you take every effort to protect them.
4. Carry business cards with you wherever you go.
Have your web address printed on them. You can hand them out to anyone you meet.
5. Contact national radio stations to ask them if they are looking for guest speakers. Tell them your area of expertise; maybe they'll book you for a show.
7. Think of a domain name for your web site that's easy to remember. If you can't find a good one left, use your actual birth name.
8. Position your web site at the top of pay-per-click search engines. You will only pay your set amount for each click through you get to your web site.
9. Allow your visitors or customers to increase your traffic or sales. Ask them how you can improve your business, web site or product.
10. Team-up with other e-zines that have the same target audience. Combine subscriber bases and then publish one e-zine together to increase subscribers.
