It doesnt seem like most businesses using Google Apps actually do this. Is there anything I should know before doing this? Any reason NOT to do this?

How do I improve email deliverability from a neglected domain?
It always starts with the list. You mention 'non opt-in' lists, which is certainly more troublesome than any domain name. Your best course of action is to get a new domain, re-confirm the lists you have (requiring the subscriber to click through in order to stay on), and only accept confirmed opt-in lists moving forward. It will decimate your mailing list in the short term, but long-term eliminate your deliverability concerns and improve ROI.BI

B2C Email Marketing - When are the best days & times to send drip marketing emails?
The typical consultant answer is 'test it' but there are some good places to start. People generally start checking email when they show up to work (yes that includes personal). Sending around 8:30AM will give you a good shot of being at the top of their inbox then. Another good time is before lunch break. Shoot for something around 12:00PM for this. If you have an email provider that allows you to adapt your send to the local time, use that. But if not, go for EST. Close to 50% of the US population lives in that, with another 30% one hour behind in central.JR

I am interested in reskinning apps for Android.Does reskinning the available source codes just add to the numerous existing similar apps?
Not necessarily, if your app can potentially serve different markets with different demographics, it may be beneficial to market to each market individually. Since app interface often serves as a marketing tool, it is important that it resonates with its target audience. This means having a different interface for the same set of functionalities depending on your audience may be prudent. On the contrary, if you are simply trying to create variations of the app for a single market by short-cutting user testing and hoping that one of the interfaces will generate more interest, you are then over-saturating the market and may actually hurt yourself by creating unnecessary confusion for your users. I would suggest looking into what other apps your target audience is using and working off that to create a single user experience which would resonate with them.

How can I utilize persuasive language in a cold email survey to generate leads?
Your emails have a lot of room for improvement. You have to: 1) Give a 1 sentence intro 2) Get right to the point quickly in a clear and easy to understand way. Eliminate all the long winded and confusing language (i.e. everything in quotes: "business attitudes towards....provision") 3) Most people will be very wary of clicking links in a cold-call email. Both because it would take time, and because they're expecting to see a huge survey and/or a crappy app made by some schmo. To get around that negative bias, include an impressive screenshot of your app, and include all the questions of your survey, or if it is super long, include just the most interesting questions to pique their interest. Have those things be in-line, not as attachments. Doing these things will help make them curious and help convince them that it's worth clicking on the link (they'll trust you more). 4) If allowed in this project, look into other routes other than emails. For instance: A) Post it to relevant subreddits (https://www.reddit.com/r/AlphaAndBetaUsers, https://www.reddit.com/r/sideproject, etc.). B) Mail a small gift (e.g. a small chocolate) to companies, and have a note on the chocolate with an intro and a link (use an URL shortener) and QR code. Even if they don't go to the link on the note, you could do a follow up email in which you mention that you previously sent them the gift, which will increase your success.LV

What timing/frequency should we use for B2C email marketing after the first contact?
It depends on the source of the leads for the B2C. It is a very personal experience and also depends on the relationship level you have with the clients. I have clients who are very successful with a more moderate approach. We have worked out a pattern where they contact them within 5-7 business days. Their clients will not even talk to them before a minimum of 5 business days. A solid CRM system will allow your team to work towards finding a good average response time. Personally, and as a business owner, I do not want to hear back even further out. I also believe that it depends on the maturity level of your team. Age and maturity make a difference. I hope this helps.DE
