What Use Are KPIs In Email Marketing?

When KPIs were introduced to a company I worked for, it was a requirement to support them enthusiastically and, having a certain ambition to go further at that time, I supported them enthusiastically.

Does Psychological Pricing Really Work?

It’s an accepted truism in email marketing that sticking a 9 or a 5 at the end of a price brings more customers than rounding up. No one argues with that basic fact and so we continue to knock off 1p or 5p. Ludicrously, when I sold my last house, the estate agent set the … READ MORE »
