Tom — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 19:24:48 +0000

Some email marketers say that the subject line copy is the most important element of your email marketing campaigns. It is a credible thought, as many of us decide to open or not open (read or not read) an email based on our reaction to the subject line.

Dylan Boyd provides some good and bad examples of email subject lines from big brand companies and explains how some email marketers are bringing sexy back with the subject lines of their email marketing campaigns.

Can I “Import” Wildcards to my Exclusion List ?

The only method of adding a Wildcard to your Exclusion List is by going to the Tools Menu, Exclusion List Manager and adding the Domain that you wish to Exclude, for example @hotmail.com This will exclude all recipients with a Hotmail.Com Email Address.

Email Marketing and Fantasy Football

Robert — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 17:28:49 +0000

Around this time every year a little buzz starts around the office, and you hear comments like, “is Keano going to be fit for the new season”, “is Wayne Rooney over his poor World Cup”, and “are Liverpool serious title contenders this year”. This can mean only one thing – Premier League football is back!

Now, we normally create an internal Fantasy Premier League here in Infacta, where we pit our wits against each other and spend most Monday’s arguing everything from referree decisions, to bonus points.

So, this year we thought, why not open it up to a few more people, like our customers, friends, suppliers and anyone else that wants to join in the ~~frustration~~ fun.

How To play:

First, Join here and pick your team: http://fantasy.premierleague.com.
Then, use this code 563302-176839 after picking your team to join our NeonBee league.

That’s it! All points/results are shown on the Fantasy Premier league site after each game week.

It’s only a bit of fun (Although you do get unlimited bragging rights if you win) and all rules are available at http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/rules.mc.

Come on, join the league .. if you dare take us on!

(Hurry, the league kicks-off this Saturday Aug 14th)
