Spiegel, 4/26 — Introducing SIGNATURE STYLE MAGAZINE - a whole new way to shop!
In my Email Insider column today, I expressed surprise that email marketers weren’t more bullish on the ability of editorial content to boost subscriber engagement. I feel that perhaps part of the lack of enthusiasm arises from how different folks define “editorial content.” I feel that even small nuggets of information or giving a product promotion and editorial frame, like Neiman Marcus as done on occasion (see Feb. 24 AM Inbox), count as editorial content. We’ve definitely entered an age of quasi-editorial content. Spiegel’s launch of an online, shopping-focused Signature Style Magazine is a perfect example of this. There’s some newsiness and education here, but the main goal is a promotional/sales one. In this new age, it’s less about the end and all about the voice and approach that’s used to get customers to that end.

Lane Bryant, 4/26 — Last Day To Save Up To 50% Off Sitewide
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a retailer promoting a “too hot for TV” commercial—or in this case at least too hot for Fox and ABC. A little controversy, a little sex, and Lane Bryant will probably get some mileage out this commercial. Bluefly web-hosted steamy “director’s cut” versions of their TV commercials like this one a few years ago and I thought it was very smart considering the racy brand image they were trying to cultivate.
