ExactTarget - Email Marketing Solution

Email Marketing Solution

Email Marketing Works
WebLink’s ExactTarget Email Marketing Solution provides you with the ultimate marketing tool that will dramatically improve the effectiveness of your email communications - resulting in increases to your bottom line through higher event attendance, member retention, new member sales and overall communications.

The days of “batch and blast” are over and the effectiveness of sending the same email to all members is minimal because of the variety of your membership. What is important to one segment of your membership may be irrelevant to another segment. Once enough irrelevant emails are received from your members, they stop reading them - making all communications less effective.

Trend of Email Volume in the U.S.

Personalization
WebLink’s ExactTarget solution makes your email campaigns and newsletters much more effective because each email can be personalized and the content within the email can be automatically changed based upon factors such as member’s preference, business size, gender, location or other data you may have.

For example, in your event invitations, use different benefit pitches based upon the size of the company or how long they have been a member and whether they are a manager or front line employee. You may tailor messages to prospects that point out networking opportunities based gender, business type or other data you may have.

This makes the email messages more suited and relevant to the reader, increasing the effectiveness the email and improving the likelihood that future email communications will get read as well.

Activity Tracking
Detailed tracking reports show each element of your email, such as what external links were clicked on and which emails were forwarded. This enables you to quickly follow-up with a selected group. An example may be to send a follow-up email to all those people who read the article about becoming a premium sponsor of your event.

Superior Email Deliverability
WebLink’s ExactTarget solution is “permission based” and should NOT be used for spam or sending to unqualified email lists. Because of this policy, all the major ISP’s and email delivery services such as AOL and Yahoo give emails sent through WebLink’s ExactTarget solution the “benefit of the doubt” and they will get delivered.
