Constant Contact, an ASP that we use for e-mail campaigns is throwing free e-mail marketing events in the Baltimore/Washington, DC area.
The content may be to basic for some but in this day and age of pay for play events- it’s good to find value for free.
On a related note, Exact Target, another ASP offers a deliverbility blog. This is a good read for anyone that wonders what happens (or not) when you hit the send button. I subscribed to find out what happens to those notes that don’t get delivered or bounce!
Whitelisting email addresses
Compliments of HP, here are good instructions for adding an email address to various address books. Whitelisting an email address ensures that you will continue to receive newsletters and other communications.
HP continues to send this broadcast to my in-box without my permisson while allowing me to ‘opt-out’ but, that’s another issue…
Michael Fox + stem cell
This isn’t exactly business related but have you seen the Michael Fox series of political ads supporting stem cell research? The talk on these ads certainly seems to be having an impact on the conversation.
One of the first people I knew that pushed for stem cell research was Allen Goldberg, on behalf of his son Henry.
Like I said, not to business related but completly interesting all the same.
