Ideas and Concepts from Damian Davila
On the October 18 – 24, 2010 edition of Bloomberg Businessweek, there was an article entitled Etiquette School for Dummies, later on titled Why Etiquette Schools Are Thriving at Businessweek’s website.
After reading this article and seeing the comparison above (which I wonder why does not include any mention of the context of when the picture was taken), I was wondering one thing: “Why do the Baby Boomers are so angry at Gen Y and the Millenials?”
If you want people to actually read your e-newsletter instead of deleting it from their inbox, you need to make it worth their time. You need to provide a valuable and useful gift. That means NO “free” white papers on “how to make make your Twitter account reach 10,000 followers”. Make good use of the law of reciprocity and provide something really useful and free to your e-mail recipients.
What kind of rewards can you give? Shutterfly’s Wink is the king of e-mail newsletters that include a freebie. Wink offers readers 2 free photo strip credits on most of its email newsletters. Although Shutterfly is a for-profit business, nonprofits can easily follow their lead. Provide a product or service that your customers, clients and volunteers would find interesting. Provide a carrot that is truly valuable and reinforce to your readers how much they can achieve through your gift.
Here are the top 3 tips to make your e-newsletter a success:

Whenever information is needed, it seems that the first outlets most people turn to are search engines. As such, search engines are constantly evolving to keep up with the latest user demands. One of the latest developments that is rapidly expanding in popularity is the idea of image based search engines rather than keyword based searches.
When using a traditional search engine to locate specific information, you have undoubtedly become frustrated at one time or another from keywords producing irrelevant results. When searching for specific images online, the keyword based search options are nearly useless.

I just got a tip from Groupon that they have a $30 for 6 movie tickets offer (that’s just $5/ticket!).
But wait…it gets better.
These are premium movie tickets, which means they’re good for IMAX, first runs, etc.
(Note: IMAX tickets in some cities cost more than the $10 voucher, so you’ll have to pay the difference. You can’t use more than one voucher to pay for one ticket. Each voucher goes toward the purchase price of one ticket.)
Since this is technically a local deal, the landing page has been primarily designed for the local market who gets the daily email, but these tickets are redeemable nationwide!

Act fast, tell a friend and get them because this offers is only valid this day (11/2/10).

On October 2010, Stolichnaya, a pioneer in the flavored vodka category, introduced Stolichnaya Wild Cherri, the twelfth flavor in the brand’s vodka portfolio (the other flavors are Ohranj, Blueberi, Razberi, Vanil, Citros, Cranberi, Peachik, Strasberi, Blakberi, Gala Applik and White Pomegranik).
Created from the natural flavor of the wild cherry varietal and years in the making, Stoli Wild Cherri is naturally flavored with the purest of refined fruit extracts.
Print ads for Stoli Wild Cherri feature actress Julia Stiles, who debuted as the second Stoli Original this past July 2010 (the first Stoli Original was Playboy Founder, Hugh Hefner), and urge consumers to “Live a life of flavor.”
I would like to start by thanking the great response to the article on 4 Tips for a Successful Email Newsletter. This article was featured by MarketingProfs as a short article on Four Tips for E-Newsletter Success and as a piece on their Get To the Po!nt email newsletter.
In this article, I want to talk about Tip 3 from the 4 Tips for a Successful Email Newsletter.
