Traditional methods of evaluating email have relied on back-end analysis tools to report on clicks and conversions. However, consumers don’t behave as logically as we want them to – in the process, they get “lost” by analysis capture tools. Take a look at how Live Nation has chosen to approach this vexing email problem. Learn about how – by opening their eyes to non-traditional analysis – Live Nation was able to get a better handle on the overall value that email does (or does not!) bring to the table not only for direct sales, but for branding.

Woe to the misunderstood email marketer. We want to make our email programs shine. But the ISPs think we are spammy. Subscribers complain about us. Or maybe worse, ignore us. Why is that? Frankly, it’s because we are not paying enough attention to creating great subscriber experiences
Taking 2008 data from a number of current market studies, this session will outline what our audiences - ISPs and subscribers -- think of our efforts. You’ll witness the subscriber experience through a lens that shows email marketing in all its reality - compelling, engaging, shamefully lazy and incredibly irrelevant. Then, the panel will address what is working, what is not; who to benchmark to and how to break free of your competitive set.
