AM Inbox: First Mother’s Day reference

RetailEmail.Blogspot monitors the email marketing campaigns of more than 100 of the top online retailers. Here are highlights from our inbox this morning:

Gloss, 4/6 — NOON – 3 PM TODAY ONLY: FREE Gloss M akeup Bag + FREE Standard Shipping
Gloss gives us our first Mother’s Day reference.



EBags, 4/5 — Members: EXTRA 15% off + see the most searched for items at eBags
We’ve all seen the web portals post lists of the most searched-for terms. In this email, eBags mines their search engine data to present the most searched-for items on their site. This is a novel way of presenting products and also keeps you focused on the items that you’re customers are looking for.



MLB, 4/5 — Try MLB.TV Risk -Free! April Only-brought to by Right Guard
I’m all for sponsored events and such, but including the sponsor’s name in the subject line gives me the willies. It’s a little too in your face for my tastes. Or perhaps I just don’t have a strong enough natural association between baseball and Right Guard that it seems a bit jarring. I just hope they got a premium for doing that.

Target, 4/5 — Free shipping on select patio furniture finds

 I love Smith-Harmon's enthusiasm. It's so great to have a connection with people who really "get" and get excited by email marketing. (Truly, there are not that many of us out there!) I count myself very lucky to have found such accomplished enthusiasts to collaborate with on the REI program. They are helping to bring amazing opportunities to fruition with panache.
