Nutrition biz Vitl. The provider of diet and lifestyle plans sent “an email to multiple users rather than BCCing them,” Register adds. “Oh dear @VITLhealth cares about our privacy, yet doesn't seem to mind giving everyone's email address out to complete strangers- awkward,” one customer tweets, according to the Register. In its apology, the firm states that the mishap affected only a “small number” of users -- a claim that has further infuriated customers, one of whom calls it a “cop-out.” But [...]

Am 25.05.2018 war es endlich soweit: Nach Jahren der Debatten, unzähligen Diskussionsrunden, Expertenanhörungen und harter, unerbitterlicher Überzeugungsarbeit jeder auch nur erdenklichen Lobby-Gruppe ist das größte Gesetzesprojekt der Europäischen Union – die Datenschutzgrundverordnung (DSGVO) – am vergangenen Donnerstag in Kraft getreten. Vorausgegangen waren Monate und Wochen der Rechtsunsicherheit für Großkonzerne wie Einzelunternehmen, Gemeinden wie Bundesbehörden, Sportvereine wie [...]

Have you ever had an email with an open rate of 104 percent? Wait, is that even possible? How can you have an open rate higher than 100? I have yet to achieve the mythical, 100+ percent open rate (my best is a unique open rate of 82%), but it is possible to do. If you’re tracking total opens instead of unique opens, if a ton of people open your email multiple times and forward it to their friends…you can record an open rate above 100%. [...]

Email marketing is a team sport. And like a sports team, it’s not just the people who are on the field that count. An email team generally consists of three groups: Internal team members, which consist of the full- and part-time employees on a brand’s email marketing team. External email team members, which consist of freelancers and consultants, plus agencies and the services arms of email service providers. Business stakeholders, which consist of all of the people involved in strategic goal-setting [...]

Signing up for services isn’t what it used to be. The internet economy has resulted in more and more new online services popping up daily. Users are constantly signing up for new tools, services, newsletters, content and other services online. What this means for you as a business owner is, even if the user has signed up for what you offer, it isn’t necessary that they’ll start using it now (or ever). This is where activation funnels and activation emails come in. [...]

How much revenue does the email marketing industry generate across all industries in a given year? It seems like a relatively simple question to answer, and surely something that everyone in the email marketing business has wondered in passing, at least once or twice… Yet, there seems to be no definitive answer to be found [...]

77% of online shopping carts are abandoned. That’s more than three-quarters. It’s 6 slices of an 8-slice pizza. When a website visitor puts an item into their cart, they announce their interest. They tell you that they’re just a single step away from buying—but there are a lot of things that can go wrong before that single step. [...]

At the beginning of March, I started thinking about what UX/UI (user experience/user interface) changes the Gmail product team can do in order to improve Gmail, making it more efficient and designed better. What would I do if I got the mission to “Take Gmail and make it better!” ? I chose some of the key features that could be better for the users and started thinking of ways to improve them. [...]

Anfang Mai hat die 1&1 Internet SE und die 1&1 Telecommunication SE eine deutliche Verschärfung der IP Rate Limits bei WEB.DE, GMX sowie mail.com angekündigt. In Zukunft wird es wesentlich schwieriger sein, über bislang ungenutzte IPs an Adressen der 1&1 zuzustellen, denn für IPs mit unbekannter Reputation werden nur wenige Mails pro Zeiteinheit entgegen genommen, während ein Großteil der Versendungen temporär geblockt wird (Softbounce). Diese Maßnahme ist vor allem gegen Spammer gerichtet, welche [...]

So it turns out Linode’s automated system has flagged this email as spam and tied it to me, because of the domain blog.jmwhite.co.uk being in the email and you guessed it, my domain blog.jmwhite.co.uk and indeed jmwhite.co.uk is hosted on the accused Linode server! What may have further pushed me into the crossfire here, is my DNS for the domain jmwhite.co.uk is also hosted at Linode and obviously tied to the same account the accused Linode server is on, so it looks like a bad case of mistaken [...]
