MenuAre there quality services that can fix our spam issues?
We're a start-up based in California and have been sending out emails in blasts using Yet Another Mail Merge and MixMax. From what I can tell using the spam checking sites, we're in good shape, but our open and response rates have dramatically declined using the same templates for different contacts (which leads me to assume we're going to spam more).
Further - our clients are telling us that they missed some emails because our emails went to spam.

Yes, there are quality services that can help fix your spam issues. However, before you can hire a spam removal service, you first need to identify the source of your spam. There are a number of ways to do this, including using anti-spam software or tools, checking for unusual email addresses or domains in your email traffic, and looking for known spammer tactics such as automated SpamAssassin rules violations. Once you have identified the source of your spam, you can then contact a spam removal service to take care of it.
Yes, there are quality services that can help you fix your spam issues. However, before you choose a service, it is important to understand the different types of spam and how they are created. Once you have a better understanding of the different types of spam and how they are created, you can make an informed decision about which service is best for your needs.
There are two main types of spam - automated and unsolicited email. Automated spam is spam that is sent automatically by a computer without human input. Unsolicited email (UEM) is spam that is sent without the person sending it having asked for the recipient's email address.
There are several ways to deal with automated and unsolicited email - some services will simply remove the email from your server, while others will send an automated message to the sender informing them that their email has been blocked for violating our terms of service.
Here's an actual answer lol. Unfortunately you will probably have to purchase a tool like sendgrid, postmark, mailchimp etc. They keep their reputation high enough to help their clients' deliverability. It sounds like, though, you aren't certain deliverability is an issue, so it may also be a genuine drop in response. Has the email list changed? Has your frequency changed? These are all things to consider. Happy to do a call and try to help.

I sell an actual item worn by women, mostly middle-aged. Need to strengthen our conversion rate. Which social media is best for this age group?
I've found that with the saturation of retail on social media sites in general, the best way to make a sale is to target the right people who are already looking for what you offer... For you: I'd recommend using highly targeted Facebook Ads (Target by age & gender plus any other things you know about your audience/buyers in terms of things they are interested in). You might also research companies who provide holistic relief for hot flashes, find their facebook pages and create a filter for your ads to target fans of theirs. You could see a HUGE return on just $100 Facebook ad buy. Good Luck and let me know if you'd like to schedule a follow up call; I'd be happy to walk you through the setup and some additional strategies!MH

We are launching a white label platform on Goodsie targeting small/medium size design/devs firms. Any ideas on where to start our marketing efforts?
The 1st thing you should do it to identify 100 potential customers from your group to approach them and to offer them to use the platform to test it out. These people will not only give you feedback on how to improve it but also will give you testimonials for your website. The next thing to do (when you have the testimonials) is build some landing pages and to run some Google AdWords. Do some A/B testing and test different value propositions. I recommend adding some retargeting to your site so you don't lose visitors forever. When you have tested out which keywords work best, you cans tart investing more in SEO. It will take time to rank well but it's worth to start doing it early. Focus on content marketing that is related to your product and at the same time attracts and educates your target audience. Use ebook and webinars to generate leads and engage your audience. Don't forget to focus on blogging. That is really important in your type of business. Share your content on social media during the day. Use followerwonk to know when to share on Twitter and run some tests to figure out the best time for Facebook and Google+. Find influencers in your industry and connect with them online. These people will make the difference in your business. I believe in the first months you should focus on: 1. Getting feedback about your product 2. Generating leads through PPC, SEO, content marketing and social media. 3. Using your first users feedback to generate some publicity If you're looking for a more in-depth strategy for your business, don't hesitate to schedule a call for me. I'd love to learn more about what you're doing and to help you out craft the strategy that will help you achieve your goals.

What is Drip Marketing? I'm looking for case studies or real life examples of how effective it is a strategy for user retention.
Drip marketing (aka. drip emails, or lead nurturing) is often used by modern marketers to nurture their leads through the sales funnel. As others have mentioned the idea is to gain brand awareness and influence buyers through a regular series of targeted and relevant content or offers. Typically for top of the funnel activities you might offer something like a general whitepaper or something which describes the overall business problems that your prospects might be feeling. From there you can use a marketing automation tool to send through additional material or reminders periodically depending on how your prospects engage with you. The idea at the end of the day is to reduce that amount of direct time that a sales rep spends closing any deal by ensuring that leads have shown sufficient buying signals and are ready to purchase.SH

What is the industry average conversion rate for cold emailing?
Cold emailing is just as bad for you and the recipient. Even if you have the perfect list, the attempt to sell in a cold email is rarely going to be effective. You're better off curating the list to the top prospects, find a mutual connection on LinkedIn or even just cold-invite them on LinkedIn,. Worst case scenario, send a 'permission pass' email where you simply gauge interest and let them know you won't be emailing them again if there's no interest. Keep it very short, non-commercial with just solid information/links to web, and an easy to reply yes/no answer.BI
