Editor's Comments 

Barry Scott -Digest Editor

There will be plenty to talk about tomorrow morning! The United States of America will be welcoming a new President and with him a new era. The talk of the global economy will take a back seat to this event at least for the day.

Looking back on the history of the global economy there have been numerous recessions that have occurred over the last 100 years although none quite as bad as the Great Depression from 1929-1939 and the one constant seems to be over-valued assets meeting up with panic. One of the triggers of any recession or economic slow down is borrowing or spending against over-inflated assets and once realized the value of the asset is not worth what was borrowed against panic and hoarding set in.

When the stock market crashed on October 29, 1929 and was commonly known as Black Tuesday most look at this as the start, which for all intent and purposes it was. However, by early 1930 the market had rebounded to pre-September 1929 levels, interest rates had returned to similar levels before the crash and credit was readily available, but consumer confidence had been shaken to the core. So rather than return to the levels of spending pre-crash days, businesses and consumers cut back, this contributed to an even bigger economic drop and so it began.

It is human nature to be cautious and protect what is ours, what we have to watch out for is protecting it to the point that it becomes of no value. Promotion stirs the economy and builds confidence in the the consumer, this is just one of the factors that turns the economy round. There are still plenty of buyers out there and you have to help them find you.

Don't Force the Issue

By Barry Scott

Getting the message out to your membership, subscription base, new and potential customers or for your ad campaigns should be meaningful. Simply sending out an email every second day to let them know you are still around will not do you any favors and it will not spark additional sales.
 
Here's a little secret "they expect you to still be in business and don't need or want to be reminded of it every other day!" If you have harvested a solid email base and by that I mean viewers who have opted in based on what your product or service is offering, sending out an email everyday is only going to aggravate the subscriber and over time they will become blind to your offers or worse they will opt out.
 
Sure there are some promotions that require a "one a day" email as part of a time sensitive offer, such as countdowns to the end of an offer. Just don't start the countdown 15 days before it ends, a better approach is to try a 72, 48, 24 or 12 hours left type of notification as this can be more effective, but again don't use all of these time periods, as two or three notices will do. Remember the idea is to have the viewer realize they might be missing out on a valuable offer so don't over do it.

Value is what we are all looking for; this includes our time reading an email promotion, letter or offer. If you are sending a message make sure the message has importance to the reader, the viewer's assessment will be qualified by how many times you send the message. If you send it everyday I can assure you, after the third day the message is on its way to being deleted before it is read.

Here is a suggestion, send out the initial offer and then follow it up with a 48 hour notice and then a 12 hour notice to let them know the promotion is almost over. Most readers may glance at the initial offer but they will take a harder look at one of the last two notices, its human nature to look at a time limited offer because nobody wants to miss out on a deal!

Common Technical Questions

                                                               
I just looked at my Impressions and Traffic Exchange ads and I am showing my account as having a negative balance. Why did this happen and am I financially liable for the overdrawn credits?

Our system for both the Traffic Exchange and the Impressions (Banner/Text) display will always overrun and produce a negative credit balance. The reason is that when the system is aware that you are getting low on credits or you are low it will get ready to stop, but it cannot account for the views that are in the queue and will be displayed. 

So your Ad/Banner may be set up to run and because we are dealing with 1000s of displays per hour the database cannot account for the ads that will be displayed as it is in queue and these ads will run regardless of the credit balance. Therefore the TE and Impressions will always run into the negative which works to the member's advantage as the member is not accountable for overdrawn credits.

If you have any questions regarding email notifications or if we can help in anyway please contact us.
