New Pinpointe Release Helps Customers Boost Email Marketing Results
SANTA CLARA, CA (PRWEB) — March 10, 2009 — B2B Email Marketing Service Provider Pinpointe (www.pinpointe.com) today announced availability its latest On-Demand Email Marketing system with industry-leading features designed to help customers squeeze even better results from their email campaigns. Highlights include:
Split / Multi-Variant Testing
With just a few intuitive clicks, customers can select multiple, personalized email variations and a random sample size from their database. Pinpointe will distribute the variations to the random samples, calculate the campaign with the best results and send the ‘winning’ campaign to remaining recipients — all without user intervention.
Robust Drip Marketing / Trigger Campaigns
Pinpointe customers can set up personalized, ‘drip marketing’ campaigns that are sent automatically to targeted prospects based on ‘trigger’ events. Marketing Sherpa recently uncovered that drip marketing can substantially improve resulting prospect conversion rates over the long term.
‘Drip marketing emails can be set to automatically trigger based on the following criteria:
- A custom field matching a specified date (e.g.: sending an automatic renewal notice to a customer 30 days before a support contract is due)
- Clicking on a link in a previous campaign (e.g., Sending a follow-up ‘special offer’ 2 days after a prospect clicks on a given product link’)
- Opening a previous email campaign. (Example – sending a reminder to prospects invited to a Webinar)
- Joining a specific list (e.g. – sending an automatic welcome letter and follow-up newsletter after someone subscribes to a newsletter list).
Enhanced SPAM Email Checker
Pinpointe’s real-time SPAM Previewer reviews email campaigns for content issues that might be flagged by SPAM firewalls relying on the Spamassassin engine. The Spam analyzer reviews customer campaigns for potentially offending content, and recommends changes that will reduce the likelihood of being blocked.
“Pinpointe’s account team provided best-practices recommendations to improve our responses. We then used the online SPAM email checker to pre-screen our email campaigns and based on Pinpointe’s automated recommendations we fine-tuned the message to avoid getting stuck in content-based spam filters. Finally, we tried multiple variations of our email by using split testing and as a result, lifted our response rates substantially,” said Jeff Victor, Editor-in-Chief, Messaging News, a Pinpointe partner and customer (www.messaging-news.com)
