Re: UKNM: Testing HTML Banners

[Sam Michel]

You think a little banner at the bottom of an email is bad, check this out:

Design your own custom banner or graphic .sig...interesting marketing 

opportunities.


There's also a very good piece in this weeks http://www.iconocast.com about 

email marketing and its response rates...some very interesting facts about 

how well it works.


They also talk about the Opt-In alliance, where direct marketers can swap 

lists on a one-name for two basis. My first reaction is "oh god not more 

badly targeted marketing emails", but I can see the strengths. From a DM 

perspective this is incredibly powerful, especially given the conversion 

rates, but do I trust their targeting?
