Elevating the Effectiveness of Your Email Program
Today's marketers are tasked with trying to communicate effectively in a world of competing advertising messages to an audience experiencing email fatigue. Complicating matters further, marketing strategies have shifted from command and control methods to more open and inclusive tactics. Brand is no longer separated from the conversation; rather it is expected to participate.
For marketers to accelerate their email and overall marketing performance, they must overcome daily obstacles to work with a variety of communication channels (social and mobile) and data centers to assist the customer along the path to purchase.
Best practices and sales and marketing intuition are not enough to build strong relationships with customers. Rather, it takes a measurable and repeatable methodology by which people, process and technology are aligned to effectively engage customers from introduction to conversion.
MarketingSherpa’s new Email Marketing Handbook 2nd Edition helps guide marketers through a step-by-step process to elevate their email programs results. This handbook is broken down into actionable steps, allowing marketers to methodically improve the accuracy and effectiveness of their email communications. It begins with identifying ways to help the subscriber at each funnel stage, and finishes with the safe arrival messages in subscribers inbox.
Inside the 252-page handbook we have uncovered the best practices to give your organization the sustenance to increase the speed and accuracy of its email communications. It also includes worksheets and exercises designed to help you prioritize and fine tune your message when adding lifecycle communications or promoting the latest mobile app. Our goal is to have this handbook become your trusted resources for executing meaningful email communications.

Overcome Your Top Email Challenges
The content of this handbook is based on eight years of research from surveying more than 10,000 marketers and numerous interviews with practitioners to document their successes (and at times failures) for our case studies and how-to articles. Recently marketers from Fortune 500 companies to small "mom-and-pop" stores told us the email marketing processes in most need of improvement were:
