Ten Ways to Reinvigorate Your Email Marketing - hosted by 1to1 Media

I just attended a complimentary webinar hosted by 1to1 Media on "Ten Ways to Reinvigorate Your Email Marketing". Dinesh Kandanchatha, Director, Corporate Sales for Protus, was the keynote presenter for this best practice webinar.

I found this webinar to be insightful and helpful to our email campaigns as it reinforced 10 tactical email marketing tips that we currently practice and highlighted areas of improvement for us. A large part of what we do here at Visual Communications Group is based around marketing, promotions, online advertising programs, and e-commerce solutions. So, it's good to be reminded of standard email marketing practices and to reevaluate areas that are at times overlooked.

If you're a business owner that has contemplated using email marketing or currently uses email marketing for your business strategy, I'd suggest you take 45 minutes and watch this informative webinar.
