Whats New
When the Volcano in Iceland Shut Down UK Flights, Email Became My Lifeline

Fire Your Writers, Hire Your Customers! At the end of an overlong trip to Europe, I was elated to be finally heading home across the Atlantic.

Soon, the value of email as a lifeline in times of crisis became clearly evident.

When Branding and Email Marketing Meet

Respect Your Customers’ Personal Information & Reap ResultsIndividually or all together, a brand is comprised of a name, phrase, logo or design that represents your business. But it is more than that. Branding is really what your customer thinks when they see that name, design or logo. Branding is one of the most important things for a company to consider in their marketing efforts. But do you have to employ an entire team dedicated to establishing your brand and spend millions of dollars on a Super Bowl commercial? Or can it be achieved with a good plan and email marketing?

By using email marketing to point your customers to all your communications channels, you improve your overall branding efforts with a unified voice. The final step is for your product or service to live up to its promise.

Fire Your Writers, Hire Your Customers!For the Benchmark Email users who are taking advantage of our powerful sub-account tools, we’re happy to announce that we’ve implemented a feature that will give you greater integration and control from your master account.

Now the master account can create one template that represents the company’s brand and push it to each of the sub-accounts. This gives a company’s email marketing campaigns a cohesive feel and the master account more control over the email marketing plan as a whole.
