This document summarizes a Return Path webinar about how their data and tools can help marketers with digital transformation. The webinar covered Return Path's email optimization and fraud protection solutions, and their consumer insight data. It discussed how their data from over 2 billion inboxes helps improve email performance and protect brands from phishing. The partnership with Salesforce was also highlighted as providing superior integration and more joint clients. Questions from attendees were answered about specific product capabilities and use cases.
While social and mobile seem to get the buzz today, email is still the No. 1 e-commerce traffic driver. A survey by ForeSee Results found that 19 percent of 2010 holiday shoppers came to a website primarily because of a promotional email, while 8 percent arrived via search engine results and only 5 percent used social media.
However, social and mobile will have a huge impact on email marketing in 2011. According to a 2010 Nielsen study, email is now the No. 1 activity on mobile devices, while falling to No. 3 on PCs behind social networking and gaming.
With integrated and social inboxes coming from Facebook, AOL and others, the year will be a challenging one for email marketers. However, these hurdles can become powerful competitive advantages with the right approach and email program.
In this Webinar, Silverpop evangelist Loren McDonald outlines several key trends and their implications for email marketing in 2011 and provide tips for successfully addressing them.
Among the trends Loren will cover:
Social media/networks affecting subscriber expectations from email
More consumers accessing email via mobile devices
The emergence of the integrated and social inbox
Consumers becoming even more "channel choosy"
The increasingly fierce battle for the digital marketing budget
Growing consumer concerns over privacy and personal data use
ISPs/consumers increasing their expectations for "relevant emails."

Email marketing continues to be the foundation of the digital marketing toolkit, yet marketers could still use the medium more effectively. In fact, 96% of campaigns evaluated failed Forrester’s email user experience best practices review.*
If you are sending more and more emails, but are not seeing corresponding increases in engagement and revenue, you could be losing out on a golden opportunity to benefit from email marketing’s high success rates.

The 7 trends discussed are: Location-based Marketing; Personality/Humanization of Content; Be Everywhere Your Customers/Prospects Are; Behavioral Data; Screensize-apalooza; Re-engagement and Re-marketing; and Email as Dynamic Platform.
Presenters were Laurie Hood, VP of Product Marketing, Silverpop and Loren McDonald, VP of Industry Relations, Silverpop.
In this webinar, Silverpop’s Loren McDonald offers his advice for leveraging social, mobile and local “mocial” channels to integrate with and support email marketing.
Areas covered include:
- Social registrations

- Designing emails for mobile devices
- Using mobiel apps, SMS, QR codes, tablets/iPads and check-in (Foursquare, Facebook) promotions to grow email opt-ins

Silverpop: Taking Loyalty Beyond the DiscountSilverpop
The term "loyalty" means different things to different digital marketers. Many small- to medium-sized businesses have implemented punch card programs to encourage repeat business and reward frequent customers, while failing to capture important customer information in a meaningful and trackable way. Some large companies spend millions of dollars on loyalty programs that drive sales and customer satisfaction, but sometimes also create discount-happy customers.
In this Webinar, Silverpop's Dave Walters will offer his advice on shifting the current thinking around these types of programs to focus on what he calls "experience-based loyalty" -- focusing on identifying user actions that indicate a deep affinity for your brand and the kinds of experiences that will amaze your customers, rather than simply handing out discounts and coupons.

How to Keep Your Lists Clean and Improve Deliverability
Ideally, your email list would be populated exclusively with the email addresses of people who are actively engaged with your brand and want to receive your emails. However, this is impossible to achieve if your list is comprised of invalid, unverified email addresses. Mistakes happen, people mistype email addresses. But this can lead to increased bounces, which can have a tremendous impact on your deliverability.
Mailbox providers monitor the addresses to which you are sending and will filter or ultimately block your mail if you send to invalid addresses and experience high bounce rates. So what can you do to ensure you maintain a high quality list and inbox placement?
In this webinar, you will learn:
• The importance of maintaining a clean and validated subscriber list
• How to monitor your unknown user rates to gauge your list quality
• Why cleaning your list at point of capture can have a big impact on deliverability
• How Real-Time Email Validation can help ensure you send only to verified subscribers and beat the bounce for good
Lead nurturing is not a new concept for marketers, but the tactics and benchmarks associated with lead nurturing are quickly evolving.
View this webinar to hear Jon Miller, VP and Co-Founder of Marketo, and Corinne Sklar, CMO and Digital Marketing Practice Lead of Bluewolf, discuss best practices for executing and measuring lead nurturing programs. Based upon recent research conducted by Demand Gen Report , attendees will gain insights into the benchmarks their nurturing efforts should be tracking against.

Webinar: Staying Agile during the Holiday Code Freeze, Sept 2013 with Windsor...WhatConts
In this webinar, co-hosted by Windsor Circle, the leading Retention Automation Platform for Retailers, and Tealium, the leader in tag-management solutions, we discussed that seasonal reality of holiday code freezes: as holiday marketing ramps up, the risks of implementing marketing tools or software that affects website code increase. The webiar reviews some key code-changes to avoid making, and marketing campaigns that increase holiday revenue without requiring risky code changes.
Windsor Circle showcases 5 personalized, segmented, automated email campaigns that every retailer should set up before the holiday season gets into full gear. These are easy campaigns, require easy-to-import data, and once set-up, provide ongoing ROI through higher open rates, clicks, and conversions by triggering personalized messages to key customer segments using the automation capabilities of your email marketing software of choice.

Overwhelmed with data from different sources and systems?Acquia
We know a well-defined customer data management framework can help ensure that valuable customer data is not locked up in silos, but rather flows freely across the organization, not only providing a single source of truth to marketing and other customer-facing functions such as sales and service; but also enabling real-time, data-driven responses to customer actions.
According to Forrester, “On average, between 60% and 73% of all data within an enterprise goes unused for analytics.” Today there is a data deluge in most organizations, where millions of data points are coming into the system from thousands of customer touchpoints across diverse channels, platforms and devices.
Organisations first need to understand what and how data needs to be ingested into the system to effectively use a customer data platform.
The problem is, many of us face multiple challenges with integrating a CDP with all current/pre-existing relevant systems (BI, CRM, MA, 3rd Party Industry Data, etc.).
In this session (https://youtu.be/yzH_DS-Mkl8) you will learn:
- The first step in building a practical customer data integration plan and strategy.
- How to unify all data from different sources to gain a 360° view of customers (Identity Resolution)
- How to strategically and effectively deliver relevant and useful experiences based on customer data at scale
RPWT Sydney Summary - Using Data to Connect with CustomersReturn Path
In today’s digital age it is important to discover how your company and trusted brands can use data to stand out in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Return Path will show you the latest in how our data can work to promote and protect your brand.
How Cybercriminals Cheat Email AuthenticationReturn Path
Email fraud is rife and costs companies like yours millions.
Implementing the authentication standard DMARC (Domain-based Authentication Reporting and Conformance) to block bad email before it reaches consumer inboxes is a great first step. But DMARC alone isn’t enough, protecting your brand from only 30% of email-borne attacks.
We tapped into the Return Path Data Cloud and analyzed more than 760,000 email threats associated with 40 top global brands over the course of 2 months to understand how fraudsters circumvent email authentication mechanisms like DMARC.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
