AM Inbox: Upselling options
>>Welcome Email Study released. Check out this second annual report on retailers’ welcome emails. Read the executive summary.
RetailEmail.Blogspot monitors the email marketing campaigns of more than 100 of the top online retailers. Here are highlights from our inbox this morning:
Harry & David, 9/27 — Go Deluxe and SAVE 10% + FREE Pears with select Fruit Clubs
This is a really interesting way of presenting an upsell. First, Harry & David offers subscribers 10% if they upgrade to one of the three “deluxe” gift collections. And second, they succinctly present how the deluxe gift differs from its non-deluxe counterpart.
Kmart, 9/27 — 3 Days of Free Shipping + Sneak Peek
Kmart has changed the way that it presents their Best of Blue deals. Whereas before the deal wasn’t known until you clicked through, giving Kmart the ability to change what different subscribers saw or change the deal based on inventory availability (see Aug. 6 AM Inbox), now they show subscribers the deal in the email itself. And they don’t appear to be varying the deals on a per-subscriber basis.
Walgreen’s, 9/26 — Are You Ready for Flu Season? Get Your Flu Shot at Walgreens
This is a great email that brings together several different elements:
1. Timeliness and Urgency, because flu season begins in October.
2. Multichannel, because it drives subscribers to stores for the service.
3. Education, because of the link to the Flu Center where you can learn more

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.
