The growth of newsletter and goals are the top priority
• Email list growth is a top priority for 38% of email marketers in 2009,
placing it ahead of integration of disparate systems with email,
deliverability, coordinating marketing efforts with other channels, and
lowering marketing costs.
• The only things on the priority lists of more marketers are improving
conversions and email relevance.

• Marketers new to email are more likely to have list growth as their top
priority than those with more experience. For marketers with less than
three years in email, list growth—along with improving conversions—is
the most commonly cited priority.
• Marketers with three or more years experience are more likely to be
focused on segmentation and relevance.

Two factors contribute to the difference in marketers’ email
program priorities.
• First, email marketers with more experience have larger lists—a trend
that holds true for both B2B and B2C marketers. They have already gone
through the list building phase of their email program development which
allows them to focus on optimization strategies.
• Second, with experience comes the knowledge that building big lists is not
necessarily the most effective way to drive increased conversions. Once
critical mass is reached, optimizing the program through enhanced
segmentation, relevancy, or integration may provide a smoother—and
more successful—road.

What to do to improve your performance
Survey respondents represent email marketers responsible for managing
lists of less than 1,000 to over 2.5 million names. Marketers with large lists
do three things more often than email marketers with smaller lists:
1) They diversify by leveraging a number of different list growth tactics
2) They track their sources of list growth
3) They evaluate their list sources frequently

The new breeds of sms
The ExactTarget Field Guide to SMS will help you determine which
classification each type of text message belongs to*:
• Alert: An opt-in SMS message that provides urgent, relevant information
to a mobile subscriber (e.g. Fraud Alert from your bank).
• Marketing: An opt-in SMS message that provides subscribers with a call to
action for exclusive marketing deals, specials, or promotions. (e.g.
Sweepstakes).
• Update: An opt-in SMS message that provides convenient and timely—but
not urgent—information to on-the-go subscribers (e.g. Daily News
Headline).
* All SMS messages must include an process that is similar to what some marketers call a“double opt-in.” With
SMS, subscribers are required to opt-in, then confirm their opt-in using their mobile handsets.

Benefits of SMS Newsletters
• Cost effective
Contacting your clients by phone or by post costs a lot of time and money.
Interacting with your customers via SMS lowers the total communication
cost significantly.
• Fast
SMS is sent in real time and read immediately after receiving. This is
perfect to communicate urgent and important information (appointments,
crisis alerts, delivery info,…)
• High Impact
More than 98% of all SMS messages are opened and read. For e-mails this
is below 40%.

• Large reach
In Belgium, 102% of the population has a mobile phone. That means that
a lot of people even have 2. There's no other communication device that is
so wide spread.
• Personal
The GSM is regarded as a very personal device. When a company contacts
a client by SMS, that client will see this as a personal service.
• Interactive
You can give your clients the option to send you a reply or feedback.

Everyone uses letters and e-mail. Be original and surprise your customers
with a SMS. It will give your company a modern and technologically
