MarketingSherpa’s Email Summit ’10: a general overview


This is the final post summarizing our man in Miami his impressions from the event. What was the general tone of the event?  What were the major takeaways? And in the end: what has he learned?


The integration of email, social media, mobile, video, etc.


On the last day of MarketingSherpa’s Email Summit ’10 there was quite some social email marketing going on. Our guest blogger says that, especially in the afternoon, there were some great cases on how to use social media in your email marketing strategy, one of the main topics this blog covers. It seemed that the cases were all about integration: social media and email but also mobile (SMS) and email, video and email (which seems to be the next hot topic, given the number of initiatives, in email marketing), etc.


Email subject lines are the new Twitter for emarketers


The last day of MarketingSherpa’s Email Summit ’10 was all about social and permission marketing. Our man in Miami wrote “social media are used to get the right contacts, expand the network, build relationships and get people subscribing for your opt-in list”. He als followed the presentation of Dela Quist and, particularly liked how he said that when you buy an email list your thought is “rape & pillage” not “nurture”.
