We will discuss the risks, such as subscriber attrition and deliverability. We will then discuss what other industries such as retail have done to evolve their email programs beyond blasting. Finally, we will make a set of recommendations that every media owner can implement within 30 days.
The Ups and Downs of Deploying a Marketing Automation Program	Tony Shaw CEO & Founder Dataversity Shannon Kempe Executive Editor Dataversity	We're a small publisher and event producer, but we always knew we needed a better way to manage our electronic marketing programs – something more comprehensive, more rigorous, more systemic, more automated, and more measurable. And after researching a number of marketing automation systems, we decided to jump in with both feet. It’s been two years so far, and we’re seeing many benefits, but there have also been many hard-won and costly lessons along the way. This presentation will share some of those successes and failures, and offer advice on what we would do differently next time. Topics we’ll cover include: - The overall strategy - Coming to grips with the complexity of automation systems - Frustrations in the start-up phase - Getting things rolled out and systematized - Early successes with emails, data collection and integration - Hitting a plateau, and how we got past it to climb higher - Near-disasters and super-annoying problems we encountered along the way - What has the payoff been so far, and where do we expect it to be in future?
