AM Inbox: List hygiene and preference updates ahead of holidays
The Retail Email Blog monitors the email marketing campaigns of more than 100 top online retailers. Here are highlights from my inbox this morning:
Lane Bryant, 6/29 — Adjust Your Fashion Attitude + Summer Sale
In the months ahead we’ll be seeing many more messages like this one asking subscribers to update their account information to ensure that fall and Christmas catalogs get to the right address and that emails are heading to the most current addresses. We’ll also see retailers asking subscribers to update their preferences to ensure that their emails are the most relevant going into the holiday season.
Diamond.com, 6/29 — First Lady Inspired Style - 20% OFF Plus Free Shipping
With the 4th of July in a few days, it seems like an appropriate time to hook an email to the President or First Lady. Michelle Obama has become a well-established fashion plate by all the fashion and celebrity magazines, so playing off that in emails like this makes sense. While a picture of the First Lady would have made sense here, the other thing that was a bit confusing was that the “know more” call-to-action links to a kind of junky looking blog that doesn’t carry any Diamond.com branding but does have links to sister brand Ice.com. I found myself confused about the relationship between Diamond.com and the blog.

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.
