Improve Data Quality by Verifying Email Addresses

Email remains a vital piece of contact information across all organizations and, in order to have a successful email campaign, deliverability is key. Ensuring email addresses are accurate allows you to get your message delivered to the intended recipients.

In my blog post titled, I’ve sent multiple emails and they’re not making it into my (or my recipients’) inbox!, I covered some of the most common reasons that emails may not be delivered to an inbox. In this post I discuss the benefits of real-time email verification, including:

Behavioral Marketing: Subscribers Demand More Personalized Content

Targeting tactics should be a key component of your marketing strategy

Behavioral targeting starts with understanding who your target audience is, what they’re interested in and what their needs are. Crafting your email with their needs in mind will help keep them engaged.

Identifying a target market’s pain points and recognizing differences between groups of customers, is at the heart of marketing. What you think is relevant and what a prospect or customer finds relevant may be two different things.

2013 Boston CIO Leadership Summit

Building Strong Relationships with the C-Suite, Adding New Skills and Networking with Peers Essential for Today’s CIOs/IT Leaders

Exceptional CIOs excel at leadership, innovation and transformation. The critical issues confronting transformational leaders as they seek optimal strategies for leveraging technology to drive business growth in rapidly changing markets are the focus of the 2013 Boston CIO Executive Leadership Summit, being held February 13 at the Westin Waterfront, Boston.

The world-class event is produced by HMG Strategy, LLC, a leading global provider of innovative IT leadership, management and technology support. This event is designed exclusively for CIO and IT leaders who want to further their knowledge around IT transformation, innovation and change; who want to build a significant network of business relationships with other IT leaders; and who want to gain the latest insights and best practices for driving increased business value through the use of information technology.

Harness customer data to improve relevancy

Moving into the New Year, marketers will need to make better use of customer data to engage and drive more relevant communications. By gathering insight about customers, marketers can begin to have more meaningful interactions through rich and deep customer intelligence.

Business intelligence data offers immense opportunity to better serve and engage customers. Expanding the customer profile with a combination of transactional and behavioral interaction data collected across multiple channels, empowers marketers to create highly targeted automated messaging. Start by tracking behavioral interactions, such as purchase history, clicks in your emails, and website activity. Use this data to segment your list and create actionable offers that are more integrated, personalized, and relevant across all your marketing activities.

Data Collection Tips to Improve Deliverability

The key to an overall data collection strategy is to ensure your data collection methods are sound. The quality of the prospect and
customer data being used to target and personalize your email messaging efforts are only as good as the data used to power them.

There are several actions that your organization should take at the point of data collection to ensure that best practice is achieved in the collection and use of data, including:

  • Gaining positive consent by using an “Opt-in” checkbox (where the box is unchecked) is preferable to a passive opt-in practice (where the box is pre-checked).
  • While single opt-in (no confirmation email) remains the most commonly used permission-based mechanism, double opt-in (where a confirmation email is sent to the new subscriber with a link to activate the registration) provides 100% assurance in terms of the validity of the email address and reaffirms that a recipient does want to receive your messaging.

Believe in the Magic of the Season!

Believe in the Magic of the Season!With the holiday season in full swing, Net Atlantic employees teamed up with the Salem High School Marine Corps Junior ROTC (MCJROTC) in support of the Toys for Tots Program. We wanted to give back to the community and thought that the collection of toys for local children was a perfect way to spread our holiday cheer. We were able to raise more than four dozen toys thanks to the generosity of Net Atlantic employees. It was a great day when the Salem High School Marine Corps Junior ROTC came to join in the fun and pick up the toys to share the magic of Christmas.
