Research conducted by ExactTarget, Ball State University, and the Email Marketers Club, provides an insider’s view into successful list growth. Best practices include on-site registration and capturing information through inbound call centers. Collecting customers’ email addresses during times of active participation-at point of sale, during online shopping and in store via text messaging- is an actionable strategy with a 60% higher success rate than offline activities like list rental and display advertising. The fastest-growing tactics for 2009 include email subscriptions via text messaging and enabling consumers to share email content with their social networks, with growth projected at 500% and 348%, respectively. The study also reports that B2B marketers entice more new subscribers with ‘incentivized’ registrations while ‘non-incentivized’ subscriptions are more effective for B2C marketers.

Innovation is the golden key to gaining competitive advantage. China is redefining the innovation landscape with its large, adaptable population; affinity for improvisation and reverse engineering; and mature industrial clusters poised to lead the supply chain. The country goes beyond low-cost labor to provide colossal development opportunities for large multinational corporations (MNCs) looking to maximize dollars spent in developing markets. "The culture is very, very good at devising quick and often effective solutions to problems," Marshall Meyer, a Wharton management professor said. The country’s ability to improvise effectively will undoubtedly seal a golden fate in the global economy.
