								<description><![CDATA[The SMS marketing app is a great way to reach clients that would prefer to receive texts instead of email or other forms of communication. In today's world, most people couldn't live without their smartphones, and texting is something most people do on a daily basis.
If your business isn't offering this communication option you probably should be, because it's a quick and convenient method to reach your customers! With our platform, it's easy to give your customers the choice to receive messages the way they want to.
Here is a list of the most common question we receive about texting (SMS messaging):
Can I personalize my text messages?
Definitely – you can perform what we call a “merge” that inserts the content of a field (also called a Merge Tag) in your list into the message. For example, your list might contain the the first and last name of the person, along with their phone number. If you wanted to mention the first name of the person, you would select the field in your list that contains their first name from the Merge Tag dropdown list.
How do I personalize the texts that I want to send to my customers?
This is done through the SMS message editor – which allows you to type in the content for your text. To add a merge tag, put your cursor at the exact spot where you want to insert the field and select the field you want to merge. Once the field is selected, use the “Add Merge Tag” button. Once you do this, you'll see a field inserted into your message that may look like this (depending on the name of the field): %%Name%%. That's a placeholder that is replaced by the name of the person in the content when the text is sent to them.
Should I leave space before and after the merge tag?
Yes – because if you don't leave space the name of the person will be combined with other words in the message. Here is an example of the right and wrong ways to do this:
The Right Way:
Dear %%First Name%%,
This would turn into: Dear John,
The Wrong Way:
Dear%%First Name%%,
This would turn into DearJohn,
This makes it important to pay close attention to any spaces you include. Your first name field might be named differently, so use that example as a general guide.

								<description><![CDATA[Twitter is a great mode of communication to use to connect with new customers, share company updates, advertise special deals and much more. Learn how to make the most of your Twitter account by reading our handy tips.
Of course you want to encourage people to check out your website and other pages that are relevant to your tweets, but remember that you don't have much space to work with. Make it easier for people to share your content by shortening any web links that you include in your message. Links are great for allowing people to further explore your company and its services, but they can often be very long and include many numbers and symbols, which just takes up valuable character space and looks cluttered. Use the SimplyCast Twitter tool, or another similar tool, to make your links short and sweet.
Retweet interesting messages that are tweeted by others in your industry. Any follower will get bored if you only tweet about your own company and how great it is all the time. By sharing relevant information and funny or thought-provoking tweets, you are showing that you are up to date on industry news and trends. It also helps to keep readers interested in your feed.
Mix automated tweets with manual tweets. It can be a huge time-saver to schedule automatic tweets so you're not constantly updating your account. You should, however, stay connected with your followers and anyone who tweets you by responding promptly. That's one of the best things about Twitter: it allows customers to directly engage with your company and vice versa. Take advantage of that personal interaction by providing a short response to any questions and comments. The @example format makes it easy to reply.
Keep your feed fresh by tweeting often. Tweets are meant to be short blurbs that are easy to read and digest. Readers want small pieces of information that they can interact with on the go, on their mobile devices, wherever they are. The Twitter culture values messages that are short and frequent. If you only tweet every few days, followers will get bored. Keep them updated, keep them interested, keep tweeting. Aim for two or three a day and change it up if you need to.
Run contests! It's fun and it gets customers involved with your company. People use social media sites like Twitter several times a day, so these sites are the ideal setting to share a great contest with lots of people. Make sure you're following best practices: don't post the same tweet about your contest over and over again, and discourage users from creating multiple accounts to try to increase their chances of winning. Actions like these are considered violations of Twitter rules and can have negative repercussions for your company and its followers.
Keep track of who follows your company and make sure you follow interesting relevant people. Delete and report any follower who you think might be a spammer. Follow people who tweet compelling and entertaining content that is related to your industry. You can tell your customers a lot about your company by who you follow.
These tips will get you started to creating an engaging Twitter account. Click on any of the highlighted words to read more about best Twitter practices. Any great tips that we missed? Let us know. Now, go forth and tweet!

								<description><![CDATA[The Retail Email Blog monitors the email marketing campaigns of more than 100 top online retailers. Here are highlights from my inbox this morning:

OfficeMax, 5/20 -- We’re Halfway There… Cyber Monday Deals!
While a quick perusal through the Subjectivity Scanner below will show that many retailers are getting an early start on Memorial Day promotions, OfficeMax is getting a REALLY early start on Cyber Monday! This email's subject line helps it stand out as unique from the others in my inbox, by using Cyber Monday Deals as the intro. The countdown clock imbedded into the email helps to increase the sense of urgency for the prospective purchaser.







































LOFT used a similar tactic by using Cyber Monday in their email send on Mar. 31. Check out my post here.

SUBJECTIVITY SCANNER: Select noteworthy subject lines
Crate and Barrel, 5/20 -- Sun drenched. Shade ready.
ModCloth.com, 5/20 -- 3 fresh app features -- how 'Pinterest'-ing!
Anthropologie, 5/20 -- This with That: mastering monochrome.
Petco, 5/20 -- Get the jump on summer deals! Up to 40% off pet essentials!
katespade.com, 5/20 -- the options are endless
Ross-Simons, 5/20 -- HUGE Clearance Sale: Memorial Day Event!
Express, 5/20 -- ☠ Rock the rebel look
Pottery Barn Kids, 5/20 -- Make a splash! Up to 40% off inflatable pools, sprinklers and more
Walmart, 5/20 -- Huge, huge, really HUGE ROLLBACKS – while supplies last
Williams-Sonoma, 5/20 -- Everything You Need to Eat Outside
The Home Depot, 5/19 -- Memorial Day Savings Starts Early
Tiny Prints, 5/19 -- Sneak Peek at Our Memorial Day Sale

								<description><![CDATA[Sorry... I dozed off for a moment...  The inbox has been a bit of a snooze-fest lately.  Few brands have been pushing creative or promotional boundaries during the past month.  This month, rather than recycling examples like "20% Off + Free Shipping," I will highlight campaigns that were targeted to collect additional information from subscribers, apologize for mistakes and get subscribers to sign up (or pay) for loyalty programs.
