Re: Email Marketing Agency Red C’s 10 Inbox Secrets published in IDM’s Journal of Direct, Data and Digital Marketing Practice

That was a very interesting doc. I think that a lot of the techniques you've mentioned can be used on website landing pages too.

Although using landing pages is sometimes done as a workaround for badly designed sites, if there is a need for hub or product pages with a strong marketing bias, your email guidance is helpful for that too.

Thanks!

I love this blog, it has brought a smile to my face. I have used the Underground and know of its perils, however i live in Manchester and believe that it will not be long before the Metrolink becomes a similar environment. I have also found another image for you to add to your collection.

Hi just got our copy of Unique magazine and it's the first one with the new logo on. It looks fab and as members of Unique we definitely approve!
My hubby ran the Manchester 10k proudly sporting his t-shirt with the brand new logo and raised £500 for Unique. It was a great day and an emotional one. Our daughter Emily age 3 cheered on daddy. We hope to be there next year to run some kind of stall raising awareness about Unique and it's work, hopefully you might like to join in with us on that? Well done again on the run and the logo

Hi Colin, many thanks for your comment. We can assure you that 'Fun Boy Three' has not been ripped off for this track... especially as our Creative Director has a distinct dislike for English New Wave music and anything involving Terry Hall.

listen to 'Fun Boy Three' song 'our lips are sealed'

not sure how the supposed composer can claim this when it
is a clear rip off from 'Fun Boy Three' song 'our lips are sealed'

Love this blog Helen. I doubt I'd ever be able to adequetly express our gratitude to you, the runners, well wishers and all that donated. Truley and deeply touched, there have been so many 'dark days' when times have proven not only difficult and heartbreaking but completely helpless. And ashamedly I've thought on more than one occasion of 'packing it in' and passing the responsibilty to somebody else. Needless to say I then hate myself but having individuals like you Helen and Rach in my life I see myself as extremely fortunate and your support is something I cherish and shall never take for granted. Honoured to know you. Lots if gooey squishy love from the Galley residence xxx

It is true that i am remembering the companies - i dont find the moonpig or boots adverts very annoying, but the go compare one just drives me mad! it actively encourages me not to use the website. i will use the other ones rather that their on this basis alone. ok they may have 200% increase in awareness, but what is the increase in website activity? i am aware that it is a terrible advert....thats it!

Great article, Rach. I like the analogy with Primark! It's interesting to note that the Office of Fair Trading are investigating Groupon for breaching the regulations 48 times in 11 months! Makes you wonder if the daily deals phenomenon might be short-lived?

Fantastic competition guys. Loved the whole campaign and the personal touches via posters & t-shirts. It definitely puts all filmmakers in the mix to give that much needed perspective. And gives us the target to beat! Really impressed with a lot of the other submissions and there is now a facebook group for all entrants of The Shot that is fast becoming a friendly community of networking filmmakers.

Well deserved winners, and looking forward to seeing what Dave comes up with in the future.

Hopefully next year we can all give it another.....um....Shot!

Very good competition, I'm glad these types of things exist to put film makers of all stages through their tests.. It allows us to connect and network and generally advance our craft. While of course getting to do we what we love..
