E-mail marketers are keeping costs low and continuing to invest in e-mail, according to interactive agency Razorfish’s “2010 Outlook Report”, released on May 24. E-mail marketing use is changing; said Joe Mele, Razorfish’s managing director of media and marketing, “We’re definitely seeing a move to one-to-one marketing. Marketers are using the channel as a personalization space to do quite a bit of targeted advertising.” To accomplish such personalization and expand e-mail marketing, Mele suggests texting and reaching out to salespeople for specific data to customize ads down to the offers, messaging, images and design. “Texting is as addressable as e-mail but able to take on a more intimate feel,” Mele said.

Toronto’s Bay recently launched the “White Space," a contemporary designer section at the Queen Street location, with a swanky, invite-only soiree attended by local fashionistas and tastemakers. The high-profile, high-fashion event, co-hosted by Fashion Magazine, followed a similar strategic path that unveiled its couture sister-counterpart, The Room, last fall. VP of marketing, Patrick Dickinson said, “We know Fashion Magazine readers are interested in this kind of shopping destination; they're interested in this kind of experience.” To rollout the launch, the Bay ran full-page black and white print ads in both the Globe and Mail and National Post, in addition to eight full-color ads showcasing Canadian supermodel Daria Werbowy that will continue to run after White Space’s debut. The launch party also featured laptop stations where guests could login and tweet about the event while sipping cocktails and browsing White Space’s contemporary line-up of designers.

Connecting with a Hispanic Market (BusinessWeek)

The Hispanic population is the fastest growing segment in the United States, meaning some marketers are missing more than 40 million new customers. Savvy companies like Procter and Gamble, Verizon and General Mills are funneling more marketing dollars into the Hispanic market, a segment proven to purchase products and services from brands advertised on TV. "Hispanic consumers appreciate when you speak to them in their own language," says Edward Gold, advertising director at State Farm Insurance. The approach is paying huge dividends for companies like General Mills, which has seen double-digit sales gains. Taking product integration to the next level, Telemundo and Vidal Partnerships (Client include Home Depot, Kraft Foods and Wendy’s) have formed a strategic alliance to promote an online contest in which viewers will choose the ending for one of the networks telenovelas.
