If you're an email marketer, you know it's difficult to find quality blogs on the subject. That's why we were impressed to learn that the employees and visionaries behind the ExactTarget email marketing system author no fewer than eight blogs. Each blog tackles the subject of email marketing from a different angle. For example, Chip House (VP of Privacy and Deliverability) is in charge of the "Getting to the Inbox" blog. Co-founder and CMO Chris Baggott hosts the "Redefining Marketing" blog, which offers a 360-degree view of marketing strategy and tools and how email fits into that universe. You'll also find blogs on connecting with your customers, the integration of email technology and more.

Need an email service that automatically follows up with your customer prospects over weeks or months? GetResponse.com’s service delivers a personalized email message to a request for product or service information within seconds. The real key to this program is that follow- up emails are automatically sent to your prospects based on a schedule you establish. Since research shows that over 64% of your prospects will NEVER buy from you the first time they are presented with an offer, the automatic follow-up feature is a major time and cost savings factor for sales teams. AWeber was an earlier entrant in this space, and is also worth checking out. If you just want to try it, GetResponse.com offers a free test drive.

Even the most vigilant and legitimate of email marketers can have their emails mistakenly filtered as unwanted or junk mail at the ISP or individual level (an estimated 15% of legitimate email lands in the junk pile according to recent studies). Habeas aims to provide marketers with a way to tag their email as legitimate, using the "Sender Warranted Email" (SWE) system. Think of it as a Good Housekeeping seal for email messaging. Marketers purchase a license from Habeas and in return they are able to use the patent-pending Habeas Warrant Mark in the header of their emails. This Warrant Mark certifies that the email should be considered "friendly fire," and theoretically it should be permitted to slip through filters and blocks at the ISP and individual level. The company is actively defending the concept through copyright and trademark law, and is vigorously partnering with ISPs and filtering systems. Contact the company for pricing.

If you are looking for thought leadership on the subject of email marketing, the IMN Resource Library is a good place to start. With its wizard-driven template interface, this email, blog and RSS feed service provider is a popular choice for marketers who want the ease of do-it-yourself campaign design. IMN has learned from its broad and deep array of clients. You will find dozens of articles and white papers within the Resource Library on everything from blogs and list management to content, reporting and design. One of the interesting things that this company is doing is developing very specific publishing tools and templates for very vertical niches such as health clubs, automobile dealerships, channel partners and alumni organizations. For example, built right into the alumni organization email publishing system are the ability to deliver targeted content for different sets of graduates (by geography, graduate school or interests), a refer-a-classmate functionality that facilitates the desire to find "lost" classmates and content tracking and survey tools.

This report reveals the latest email marketing trends and metrics by industry as compiled from 200 million emails sent by 3500 MailerMailer clients. Across the board, open rates hover at close to 20% but are declining slightly, which may be due to an increased number of recipients preferring non-trackable text email formats. However, HTML-formatted emails have higher clickthrough rates. Emails with subject lines of less than 35 characters are much more likely to get opened, as are emails with some degree of personalization in the message itself or in the content of the message. The report also includes best-practice tips and strategies as well as open and clickthrough rates by industry.
