Using Engagement Data to Drive Higher Relevancy

Our customers communicate with us through micro-signals. As email marketers, we tend to focus on success metrics or explicit signals—open rate, click rate, conversion rate, unsubscribe rate—but what happens in between can be just as important.

Beyond the Buzzword: Why it’s Time to Ignore “Best Practices”

“Best practices” is one of those phrases that never seems to go away. Ultimately, we all want to do our due diligence, especially when it comes to crafting an email program. But when does a “best practice” turn a guideline into a limit?
In this session with Allie Donovan, Quince’s Head of Retention & Lifecycle Marketing, discover why it’s time to throw out historical best practices, and look instead at individual demographics, behaviors, and testing strategies to maximize email engagement and revenue. You’ll learn how to think differently and develop strategies for testing against best practices and you’ll leave with fresh campaign ideas.

Let’s say you’re feeling inspired and you write a poem about Activate Summit. How would you know if it’s a good poem? The truth is, it’s hard to evaluate something that’s subjective if you don’t have a framework in place. (Although we’d love to see that poem.)
The same is true when it comes to crafting successful A/B tests—a solid framework is crucial. Join this session with Tally’s Sr. Lifecycle Marketing Manager, Alex Orton, to uncover how to use Iterable to create an effective A/B testing framework to clarify, guide, and power up your experiments.
