- Little League And Email Marketing - by Submitted on Mar 23, 2012 from Dan ForootanIt’s that time of year again! Time to crank up John Fogerty’s “Centerfield,” warble a few verses of “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” and become reacquainted with the sights, sounds and smells of baseball stadiums. The return of baseball is even better for parents whose children play Little League, ...
Views: 538 - Local Coffee Shops and Email Marketing - by Submitted on Jun 04, 2012 from Dan ForootanThe local coffee shop is the pulse of America! For generations now, the coffee shop has been a gathering spot for locals of all ages—a meeting place for young couples and groups of friends as well as the destination for a town’s old-timers to gather and discuss various topics both new and ...
Views: 492 - Local Theatre Groups and Email Marketing - by Submitted on Jul 29, 2011 from Dan ForootanAs the economic downturn lingers, people are looking for entertainment that is both local and more inexpensive than what they might have enjoyed even just last year.

Views: 398 - Movie Theatres and Email Marketing - by Submitted on Jan 04, 2012 from Dan ForootanWhose appetite hasn’t been whetted by the animated popcorn and candy boxes dancing and parading across the screen just after the lights go down at the movie theatre? That pitch is the marketing version of a slam dunk—people are already in their seats, so where else but a concession stand will ...
Views: 414 - Museums And Email Marketing - by Submitted on Mar 23, 2012 from Dan ForootanEven with the whole world at your fingertips these days and the ability to research just about any historical fact—arcane and otherwise—with a few keystrokes, there’s nothing quite like going to a museum and seeing history “live” and up close. It’s an unforgettable experience, for young and old. ...
Views: 462 - Music Stores And Email Marketing - by Submitted on Feb 16, 2012 from Dan ForootanThe modern version of air guitar has led to a resurgence of playing the real thing. Except instead of “playing” a tennis racket or baseball bat, kids and adults alike these days are discovering (or re-discovering) musical instruments such as the guitar, the bass and the drums via video games ...
Views: 453 - Pharmacies And Email Marketing - by Submitted on Sep 08, 2011 from Dan ForootanGenerally speaking, the days of a patient running a prescription down to the corner drug store and having it filled with a pharmacist who was on a first name basis with all his customers are gone. While the independent pharmacist hasn’t quite yet gone the way of the typewriter repairman, he is ...
Views: 379 - Politicians and Email Marketing - by Submitted on Jun 04, 2012 from Dan ForootanEvery year is an election year somewhere! But voters tend to pay more attention—both to politics and to the advertising involved in campaigns—during presidential campaigns. And the upcoming battle for the White House is a good opportunity for politicians from both parties and of all ...
Views: 468 - Promote Bowling Alleys via Email Marketing - by Submitted on Aug 01, 2011 from Dan ForootanIn these tough economic times, inexpensive, old-fashioned family fun activities are becoming new again. And there aren’t many more traditional methods of entertainment than bowling. If you’re of a certain age, you recall keeping score by hand, or how, in the days before cell phones, emails, text ...
Views: 429 - Promote Consignment Shops with Email Marketing - by Submitted on Jul 29, 2011 from Dan ForootanThere aren’t many more old-fashioned businesses than consignment shops. Whether the shop is actually housed in a storefront, or it’s a “roaming” one that takes up temporary residence every weekend at a flea market, consignment shops evoke decades-old images of bartering for the best possible ...
Views: 378 - Promote Independent Musicians with Email Marketing - by Submitted on Aug 01, 2011 from Dan ForootanIndependent musicians seem to have the best of both worlds: They are able to record the music they love without the pressures of dealing with a major record company operated by bottom-line minded corporate executives. But the—pardon the album pun—flip side to being signed by a cutthroat ...
Views: 340 - Promote Local Bike Races via Email Marketing - by Submitted on Jul 29, 2011 from Dan ForootanThere’s been something approaching a bicycle boom in the United States over the last few years. With the price of gas rising and falling with seemingly no rhyme nor reason nor any end in sight—and with even “cheap” gas prices at least two times as expensive as 10 years ago—more people than ever ...
Views: 399 - Summer Camps And Email Marketing - by Submitted on Jun 04, 2012 from Dan ForootanWith school coming to an end around the country, it’s time for perhaps the most exciting time of year for children in elementary school and middle school: getting ready for summer camp! And the not-so-secret secret is parents enjoy summer camp as much as their kids! For a week or two—or even ...
Views: 526 - Traveling Carnivals and Email Marketing - by Submitted on Jun 04, 2012 from Dan ForootanThere's no better summertime staple than attending a carnival! From the rides to the games to the midway food, a carnival is a joy for people of all ages. Publicizing these traveling carnivals is a challenge, though. Newspapers used to be a reliable source of advertising and marketing before ...
Views: 475 - Tuxedo Rentals and Email Marketing - by Submitted on Apr 26, 2012 from Dan ForootanThe spring is perhaps the best time of the year for stores offering tuxedo rentals and sales. June is, of course, the most popular month for weddings, and high school proms are taking place from April through June. Add it all up and there’s plenty of opportunity for men’s clothing stores to rent ...
Views: 488 - When Less is More - by Submitted on Jul 01, 2011 from Dan ForootanI am still surprised at the number of email marketers that think (or hope) people are reading their entire message. Very few people read marketing emails – they scan. And when they scan, they spend a couple of seconds looking for something of interest, and then they move on to the next message. ...
Views: 391 - Why Add Social to Your Email Marketing - by Submitted on Sep 08, 2011 from Dan ForootanWhile the email marketing world is still learning how best to integrate social media, I want to throw out one word to current email marketers: “Legitimacy.” Adding a simple Facebook Fan Page to the media mix will convey an added sense of legitimacy by allowing message recipients to see how ...
