On its own, “quality” is a subjective term. What’s high-quality to one person might seem mediocre to another. So, how do you ensure the content your company produces is better—and higher-quality—than what your competitors are offering? Simple: You measure quality based on conversion.

After all, you shouldn’t be creating content in a vacuum: each piece you produce should have a purpose beyond merely meeting your—or your company’s—subjective standards for quality.

Beautiful, unique, well-constructed content doesn’t mean a whole lot if it doesn’t move the proverbial needle—whether that needle points to increased top-of-funnel traffic, more demo submissions, or greater upsell potential.

In this webinar, Charlotte Bohnett and Brooke Andrus will discuss how they’ve leveraged content in a way that not only sets WebPT—a niche healthcare software company—apart from its competitors, but also supports the company’s overarching marketing goals and, most importantly, drives action.

As part of this discussion, the presenters will highlight several key examples of content that have shown immense conversion value, including:

- Themed pillar pages, blog posts, and downloads that work in tandem to capture and retain search traffic as well as drive email submissions

- Free educational webinars that drive genuine lead activity and feature content and design that are far superior to anything else available in the rehab therapy industry—as well as carefully planned and executed promotion and distribution of those webinars

- An industry salary guide download that has generated unprecedented top-of-funnel email submissions—and is easily replicable in most B2B spaces

We spend so much time and money on getting our audience to read our content. But what are we learning about them? And what are our returns on investment?

Content marketing is more than just likes, shares, hits and clicks. It’s a perfect opportunity to learn more about our customers’ personal traits, preferences, needs and challenges – and to translate those insights into personalized pitches that convert like a machine.

At the dawn of the digital age, email heralded a bold turn away from junk mail and battling the paper bulge of the overworked mailbox. But in today’s crowded engagement landscape, email has started to feel more like a cheap imitation of its scan-and-junk bulk snail mail predecessor.

According to the technology research group, Radicati, 205 billion emails are sent each day. Not even social can compete with the power of email, according to a Forrester report that indicates that people are twice as likely to sign up to receive a brand’s emails as they are to interact on Facebook. But, as email open rates are increasing year over year according to Epsilon, rising from 31 percent to 34.1 percent, email CLICK rates are in decline, dropping from 3.5 percent to 3.1 percent in Q3 of 2016.

Nonetheless, email continues to deliver. According to the Direct Marketing Association, in 2016, email had a median ROI of 122 percent, nearly four times higher than other marketing tactics including social, direct mail and search. And, according to a recent CMO Council study, 52 percent of consumers surveyed say email is a critical part of the customer experience, second only to access to a corporate website.

The spray and pray messaging approach of old is no longer applicable to emails. Where personalization reigns, what are the new rules of email marketing engagement and how have CMOs adjusted strategies to optimize emails as part of a holistic customer experience?

Join the CMO Council as we assemble a panel of marketing leaders who have all evolved email strategy to advance the customer experience and pull this powerful point of connection out of the junk mail pit.

The email marketing landscape is a rapid and evolving one. Once colloquially referred to as the “red-headed step child” of digital advertising stemming from its salacious birth in the digital space: synonymous with spam encapsulating male enhancement solicitations, to its powerful advancement today as one of the most economical, effective digital conduits to get a message to a targeted audience and drive ROI.

Email marketing is truly the proverbial brick and mortar of the digital world. But with the influx of “Email Best Practices” articles claiming hamburger emojis increase inbox penetration to specific days of the week that supposedly drive better email engagement, consumers ostensibly find it hard to discern between fact and punditry. This presentation is designed to help consumers cut through the minutia and arm you with the constituent ingredients in crafting a successful email marketing campaign in 2017:

• The evolution of the email marketing landscape over the past decade
• Email does not always work, no advertising vehicle ‘always works’
• Where email has failed and succeeded
• The importance of segmentation and running tests

Personalisation is the latest trend within email marketing and with good reason - it delivers the goods. However, the reason behind its success is not what you may think. In this must-attend session, Kath Pay, CEO of Holistic Email Marketing de-mystifies personalisation and reveals that contrary to popular opinion, personalisation should not in fact be our objective, but instead it should be to deliver a great customer experience using personalisation as a strategy to achieve this.

This session will be packed full of practical tips and advice on not only how to achieve a better customer experience using personalisation, but will also demonstrate as to why it's so powerful. Beware though - you may well be pleasantly surprised at the many ways to achieve personalised emails beyond product recommendations!

The ultimate goal of marketing is to provide the consumer with a personalized experience across numerous channels and devices, at scale.

The first step to achieving omnichannel excellence starts with an often-underestimated channel, email. Why start here? The answer is simple; the consumer is constantly changing channels and devices, but not email address. In essence, an email address is the consumers’ digital ID. This is the first part of key data that the marketer needs to start the omnichannel journey.

In this presentation, we will focus on how to start your journey with the #1 digital channel for ROI, email.
