Email in 2024: Thriving in a Changing Deliverability World

Engagement metrics flatlining, anemic open rates, sending to a chronically inactive audience, bounce rates skyrocketing, or worse, spam complaints leading to a complete system collapse … these are all leading indicators of email failure.

With increased privacy policies and laws governing consumer data, it’s more important than ever to ensure your email practices aren’t going to send you to a block list. It’s time to look into your email deliverability health and make adjustments, stat.

Join Act-On’s expert deliverability consultants, Alex Cunningham and Tayler Donti, as they review the warning signs that your email health may be at risk and prescribe changes you can start implementing today.

Deliverability Clinic: Diagnosing the Symptoms that Lead to Email Failure

We all know the classic tale: Lead meets brand. They’ve been burned by broken promises before, but this time feels different. The brand’s products solve the lead’s pain points. Lead decides to make the first move. They raise their hand.

But all too often, it’s not happily ever after. In fact, in 2023, the average pipeline conversion rate for B2B companies was only 2.9%. Let’s change that. 

Join ZoomInfo’s Director of Demand Gen, Michelle Blondin, and SVP of Marketing at Act-On, Jeff Day, as they discuss the essential techniques and best practices for nurturing leads to win hearts and convert buyers.

You’ll walk away with learnings on:
-How to evolve lead scoring strategies to optimize for conversion
-Crafting the perfect nurture sequences based on account intelligence and funnel stage 
-The keys to a strong marketing-sales handoff
-Reporting full-funnel metrics to identify what drives opportunities and how to replicate the process

Strategies for Effective Lead to Pipeline Conversion

Let’s face it: switching from one marketing automation platform to another is a daunting thought.

But the truth is, whether it's low utilization or falling short of business goals in 2023 due to inefficient processes—23% of companies will switch their marketing automation provider this year.

Do you think you might be one of them? 

If so, join Act-On and Access Marketing for an in-depth look at the migration process and why you have options that can make it far less painful than you’re probably imagining.

Making the Switch Without a Hitch: The Strategic Approach to Switching MarTech

When’s the best time to send an email? What kind of personalization actually drives engagement? Do people prefer designed or plain text messages? 

Email marketers have strong opinions on these questions. And we spent the last few months A/B testing every send to separate fact from fiction! 
The results may surprise you; they surprised us!

What we will cover: 
-Timing: Is there really a single perfect time to hit that send button? We’ll uncover our results from what days of the week outperformed others to what time of day got the best engagement 
-Design: Does design matter? We looked at CTA placement, link types, colors, and different design styles to see what drives the most clicks
-Language: Crafting content that screams "click me!" can be challenging. We put personalization, long-form and short-form emails, and professional language to the test
-Plus, we’ll share our tips for testing against your audience so you can start seeing email success

Let’s agree that relying solely on traditional email metrics to gauge prospect intent no longer works. With everything from link scanners to mail privacy policies and cookies, recognizing genuine interest from mere clicks and opens has become a guessing game.

Stop waiting for someone to raise their hand and discover how to proactively identify potential customers and deliver the right message at the right funnel stage using intent data.

In this engaging session, you'll gain valuable insights on harnessing first and third-party data and intent signals to boost your lead nurturing efforts. 

We’ll cover: 
-The intent signals and metrics that you should be looking at
-How to use intent data to identify your next target for nurture 
-Personalizing messaging based on data 
-Utilizing marketing automation to engage at each step

Get Proactive With Lead Nurturing: How To Boost Efforts With Intent Data

When a man falsely made viral claims that Starbucks was anti-Christmas, former VP of marketing Nancy Poznoff took quick action to flip the narrative. She helped lead the charge during the "Red Cup" incident.

Now as partner and co-founder of the Kingston Marketing Group (https://www.kingstonmarketing.group/), Nancy helps other companies navigate that tricky conversation of brand identity. Her hot take: KEEP THE HUMAN TOUCH in marketing, communications, PR and content.

Fighting Starbucks' "Red Cup" brand haters!

It all started with a question from Mannan Shaikh's daughter: 'if you want to help women, why don't you help them in your own field?'

So Hers (https://herstech.com/) was born. 'Hers' is an India-based organization that fights to get more women into marketing opportunities, sometimes saving them from oppression.

Mannan Shaikh and Arzuv Nurgeldiyeva share their journeys to uplift women in the ultimate act of rebellion.

The Rebel Instinct: Empowering Oppressed Women in Marketing

What does it mean to be a rebel?

To Marc Liu, it means challenging the status quo, but also knowing when to let someone else take the reins.  As chief revenue officer of the startup E-bike company, Civilized Cycle, he has fought through COVID-19 production issues to launch a green product people ACTUALLY want.

It's not a TESLA, but the bike creates an experience riders haven't felt before.

Is your content collecting dust rather than driving web engagement?

Good content takes a lot of investment – of time, money, and resources. Too often, marketers give up on content once it’s published and distributed. The truth is, that old dusty content sitting in the digital corner still has time to shine.

Join Act-On’s Matt Sailor, Sr. Content Marketing Manager, and Trevan Strean, Creative Director, to learn how content audits and brand refreshes can help you squeeze more demand gen results from your entire content library. 

What we will cover:
- A step-by-step approach to auditing your content library: How to look at your existing content library holistically to determine what to dust off vs. what "no longer brings you joy" as Marie Kondo would say
- Tips and tricks for making updates to creative assets for minimal effort: Identifying quick win updates you can make to existing assets and what to start with on some of the more involved updates
- AI tools that can help you reuse and recycle content: Embracing new AI tools to reduce the manual lift of refreshing your library and focus that human energy where it matters most
