Research and Markets added the eMarketer report, “E-Mail and Word-of-Mouth: Connect with Your Best Customers” to its research database.
Marketers are using e-mail to join the conversations among consumers and blend their marketing messages into consumer-generated word-of-mouth content like blogs, social networks, video and other related media.
The Dublin, Ireland-based Research and Markets added the report from eMarketer, New York, to analyze how e-mail can be effective within these channels.
The report at www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c40517 answers questions like to what extent does e-mail list segmentation increase word-of-mouth effectiveness; which comes first, an effective e-mail list or word-of-mouth that builds such a list; and why do many e-mail marketers ignore such viral basics as inserting a forward-to-a-friend link in their messages.
Also included are how can e-mail marketers use word-of-mouth to increase deliverability and at what point should marketers give up control in order to encourage true word-of-mouth among their customers and prospects.
