Buy it! | | Total Votes: 18, Helpful Votes: 17, Date: 2001-01-30 | | | | Best E-Mail Marketing Book In Print | Rating: | | I bought this book because I know the authors by reputation. My company was a traditional mail order company. We used to sell all of our products through our printed catalog. The Internet has changed all of that. Half our budget is now dedicated to e-mail marketing. I applied the Author's recommendations and saw my e-mail response rates take off. On the most recent campaign, I saw a 247% lift in response resulting from the use of just one of their techniques. The book is written in very clear and concise language. It's methodical and step-by-step method worked wonders for my company's program. I've read all the other books currently on the market, they just don't compare. If you're new to e-mail marketing or a serious pro, this book has information that you can put to use right away. The tips and tricks in creating an e-mail program were dead on. I especially liked the chapters on the type of products that can be sold via the Internet and the characteristics of a successful Internet Buyer. The "Multi-Mailing" idea alone was worth the price of the book. | | Total Votes: 33, Helpful Votes: 30, Date: 2001-01-23 | | | | Great book for a new marketing medium | Rating: | | Any book that Bob Bly is associated with is bound to be good--no, great!
