            <title>Automating email campaigns</title>
            <description>In our Maxenews newsletter we are always saying that one of the important success factors of an email is its relevance to the recipient. Part of what makes up relevance is the time they receive certain emails. With the Maxemail API you can automate all of the manual processes in setting up a campaign - therefore enabling you to send campaigns to a small number which otherwise would not have been worth the effort.</description>

            <description>The subject line of the email is often considered the main factor in achieving a good open rate. However if the recipient does not know and trust the sender of the message they are less likely to open the message in the fear of it being spam or a virus.

            <description>For many B2C email marketers ensuring that you do not get 
          delivered to the junk mail folder at the major ISP&apos;s is crucial 
          to the success of any email campaign. The reason why it is more important 
          for B2C marketers is that as much as 80% of their list might be at one ISP 
          in particular, usually Hotmail. Find out how Inbox Seeding may help.</description>

            <description>Most email marketing solutions give you stats on opens, click-thru&apos;s 
          and so on. These stats only give you a limited insight into the performance. 
          What is really required is a funnel report.</description>

            <description>The general trend in the email marketing industry has been 
          for people to move away from in-house solutions towards the hosted model. 
          This is usually because of the perception that the problems you were 
          having with your custom-built email-marketing tool would not be solved 
          by off the shelf software.</description>

            <title>How often should I send email marketing campaigns?</title>
            <description>As this is written by an email marketing service provider 
          you would expect the answer to be &quot;as often as possible&quot;. The correct 
          answer however would be whenever you have something relevant to say. 
          Too many email campaigns are sent once a month or once a week in a rigid 
          fashion. Read more by clicking the link belows</description>

            <title>Dynamic Content in your email marketing campaigns</title>
            <description>Dynamic content is about personalising your emails with content 
and  offers based upon the recipients profile. This goes beyond simple 
          merging of fields such as &apos;Dear Fred&apos; and is also different to setting 
          up a email campaign for each segment of your database. Here is how you 
          could use dynamic content in your email marketing campaigns</description>

            <title>Bonded Sender - will it help your deliverabiity rate?</title>
            <description>Bonded Sender, the paid-for whitelist has recently changed 
          to Sender Score Certified. The scheme is used by many ISP&apos;s including 
          Hotmail as their only form of whitelist. The original concept was to 
          post a bond and any spam complaints generated would have $20 deducted 
          from this. The theory being that no spammer could afford to work on 
          this basis while a genuine permission based sender would not generate 
          many complaints. Does it actually help though?</description>

            <title>Help with avoiding spam filters</title>
            <description>Email deliverability can be a major problem when sending 
          email marketing campaigns. However understanding this can be an absolute 
          minefield for marketers. Terms such as blacklist, whitelist, false positives 
          and IP addresses are just some of the terms marketers have to understand 
          before even thinking about taking action.</description>
