10. Inbox Success Requires
Delivery Best Practices
• Technology and infrastructure to
maintain and improve sender
reputations, to get marketers past
spam filters
Engagement Best Practices
• Create relevance, trust, and
purposeful interactions with email
subscribers through messages they
want to receive, open, and engage
with
11. We Have Some Blind Spots Keeping Us From Our Silver
14. The Inbox Business Case
• Even the most brilliant email drives no revenue if it doesn’t reach an inbox
• 20% average spam rates for permissioned, marketing email
• For the very worst performers, it jumps to 40%
Upside opportunity? Not trivial…
For a classic underperforming major retail emailer,
improving spam rate by just 1% could put over
$1,000,000 in annual revenue on the books.
15. But The Upside May Be Bigger Than That
• Inbox measurement inaccuracies can understate the performance shortfall
• Leaving even more money on the table than you thought
• Client with 4% open rate was given a nearly perfect “Sender Score” when
in reality they had a 45% spam rate
What you don’t know could hurt you.
16. What You Need: Inbox Intelligence
Know What’s Happening
Deliverability tracking, monitoring and reporting:
• By campaign, ISP, day
• Campaign engagement
• Audience inactivity
• Average time to receive by domain/ISP

I’m so grateful to the MediaPost organizers for having this great tradition of hosting this event in beautiful Park City at the Stein Erikson lounge. Isn’t this a lovely venue and town?
April
In 1868, a group of prospecting soldiers stationed near Salt Lake City discovered silver in the hills surrounding what is today Park City, with sizeable strikes following shortly thereafter. In 1872, a trio of prospectors tapped into an extremely rich silver vein in Ontario Canyon. Word of the strikes spread quickly and adventurers from around the world flocked to the area, turning the tiny camp into a boomtown. The new population soon put down roots. Wooden mining shacks were quickly constructed, the weekly Park Record newspaper was launched, and schools, churches and businesses were established. In 1884, Park City was incorporated as a town.
The town's residents enjoyed great prosperity for half a century. The mountains surrendered over $400 million in silver and established many fortunes, including those of Utah's Silver Queen Susanna Bransford and George Hearst, father of newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst.

Like many wonderful ski resort towns in the U.S.--Park City’s success began in the mining industry. Prior to the discovery of silver, Park City wasn’t even a blip on the map. We can thank this discovery for the incredible experience we have here today.

Speaking of mining, the tools to efficiently work have changed over time. What used to be pick axes and manual effort of panning for silver has now been replaced by massive trucks and sophisticated conveyer systems.
I think we can consider the email industry a lot like mining. We’re looking to extract as much silver as we can for our companies, but we’re doing it with the tools of yesterday. Today’s strategies require us to manage a lot of complexity and our jobs as email marketers are getting harder and harder, yet we continue to use the equivalent of pans and pick axes--especially when it comes to analytics.

Today’s strategies require us to manage a lot of complexity and our jobs as email marketers are getting harder and harder. The email funnel is inverted, because subscribers are already in your funnel and each micro-conversion is all about preventing them from falling out.

And the best practices to deliver on inbox success requires us to have technology and infrastructure to get past the spam filters. We have to do this while also understanding what drives recipient engagement.

Yet, we have some blind spots that are keeping us from our silver.

Here’s a typical major retail example:
Given informed assumptions on campaign deployment rates, send sizes, conversion rates, and average order value . . .
For every 1% improvement in spam rate, the revenue upside is $1.8 million per year. AN IMPROVEMENT OF FIVE PERCENTAGE POINTS WOULD DRIVE $9 MILLION ANNUALLY.
