It’s no surprise that marketers looking for high-impact email solutions take maximum advantage of Web technology to reach their audiences. Simply put, that means incorporating plain text e-mails into the marketing mix. While flashy HTML e-mails are great attention-grabbers and response-trackers, they aren’t always accessible to every user. The first rule of thumb: key content should be viewable without scrolling. Keeping offers, calls to action, brand identity and deadlines/time markers all at-a-glance is likely to increase your impact. While you can legally send unsolicited emails to anyone in the US without asking permission, it’s vital to keep your communications targeted and provide opt-outs. E-mail offers an easy, effective, affordable way to stay connected and build strong, lasting relationships with your customers.

Don’t get caught up in the doom and gloom of today’s challenging economy. “There's a lot of good news out there, in particular in the b-to-b world,” said Bob Felsenthal, BtoB publisher. According to many B-to-B marketing experts, the key is to be creative, of course, but also design multi-channel initiatives to drive prospects to the web—and ultimately to conversion. This means that marketers may need to step out of their typical corporate comfort zones and embrace social media such as forums and blogs in order to gain that coveted brand awareness and preference. So what is the future for B-to-B marketing for 2009? 31% of marketers plan to increase budgets and chances are good they will be stretching them into integrated campaigns for the most effectiveness.

Microchip maker, ARM, has partnered with Adobe to bring more Adobe software capabilities to more mobile phone users. Until now, many videos that run in Adobe Flash Players could not be viewed on cell phones due to software incompatibility. This new partnership is good news for users as well as programmers who will now have the tools necessary to build content that can work across many devices. In addition, Adobe has teamed with mobile phone manufacturers Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Qualcomm and others to standardize Adobe Flash on mobile devices. Adobe is counting on its removal of licensing fees to encourage integration of its Flash Player. Some industry insiders claim the move is a reaction to Microsoft’s comparable Flash Player, Silverlight. Possible. But, if it gets Flash to more mobile users, that’s enough for us.
