  • Choosing the Right Email Service Provider

    Just as email marketing can be complex, so is choosing a top tier ESP (Email Service Provider). Comparing ESPs to each other isn?t always an apples-to-apples comparison.

The differences don?t just stop there: The same piece of content sent to the same list on different ESPs will give you different delivery results.

    This white paper will help you narrow down the services that are most important to you and what to look for when selecting an ESP. It also includes an ESP Scoring Sheet!

  • Personas Positioning and the Message Box

    When lead generation programs fail, they do so mainly because the messages communicated are irrelevant or ill-timed for the target audience.
