Couldn't make MarketingSherpa's Dec 3rd teleseminar on what the latest email stats mean for your marketing?

Here's a handy recorded version for you including a PDF of the PowerPoint slides. Features 11 useful charts on budgeting, open rates, filters, click trends, conversion rates, and gathering opt-ins.

Highlights include:

>> What's worth testing to improve your email program's results (text vs. HTML makes a surprising come-back)

>> How open, click, and conversion rates are trending for 2005

>> Why marketers mailing to at-work addresses need to worry more about filters

>> Startling error-rates in rented list mailings

>> How switching to double opt-in will affect your list's AOL "reported as spam" rate
