    Also, this presentation is basically in 2 parts: 1) A quick overview of 7 key trends affecting/driving email marketing in 2009; 2) A light-hearted look at 8 elements to improve your email program without resorting to using 'ketchup' (e.g., always using discounts, free this, etc.) to make your 'email burger' perform better. This was based on a blog I wrote last year - Do Your Emails Need Ketchup' - http://marketing-suite.silverpop.com/2008/09/do_your_emails_need_ketchup.html

    Enjoy the Kobe beef burger :-)

    All: There are several 'builds' in this presentation that will appear as a single slide - so you may want to download if you want to see those slides as intended.

    Also, the presentation seems to stall on a few of the slides - a SlideShare issue, I believe.
