Email Marketing Insights (10 am to 11 am)
Learn the keys to great email marketing, the new rules (CASL), how to grow your email list (hint: more is not always better) as well as some tips and tricks for engaging email programs. Traditional marketing has always been a rather one-sided communication: we talk while the customer listens.

Email is not a mass marketing tool and those businesses who can shift their mindset can take advantage of this cost effective medium and tap into it’s full power to drive new business.
Speaker:

Rethinking Physical Marketing (11:30 am to 12:30 pm)
Over the past decade, we’ve seen digital prompt a new role for the physical store as a place of inspiration and experience activation – a role so compelling that digital pure-plays are taking note and rethinking the role of physical in their own business models. But what of the physical communication? Do catalogues, direct mail-outs and other forms of print advertising still have a role to play in today’s hyper-digitized path to purchase? To answer these questions, we look to consumer neuroscience to understand how the brain responds to physical and digital forms of advertising. Case studies will provide insight into the following:
> The brain’s response to direct mail and digital advertising media
> Whether the brain’s response differs within and between different forms of media
> Top 5 best practices to convert with physical communications

Speaker: Diana Lucaci, Founder, CEO, True Impact.

Do’s and Don’ts of Big Data (1:00 pm to 2:00 pm)
The only constant with Big Data is change. The data itself is not necessarily new but the fundamental paradigm shift is increased access to data. Advancements in technology vis a vis apps alongside the continued need for advanced programming skills have provided the tools that have allowed for this increased access. But increased access to data has resulted in exponential growth and the need for analytics both from an advanced and non-advanced perspective. Questions abound that with new Big Data technologies , the analytics discipline, itself, needs to undergo transformational changes. But does it? In this session, we explore the four step process of analytics and how it can be applied to all analytical exercises and projects. Within the Big Data paradigm, we identify what is unique and new to this discipline versus what has remained constant over the many decades of applied analytics within such sectors as credit card risk and direct marketing.
Speaker: Rich Boire, VP Analytics, Environics Analytics

Mailing Today: How technology drives speed to market, cost efficiency and maximize response (2:30 pm to 3:30 pm) In today’s fast paced world we expect everything to happen “now”. While traditional media is viewed by the majority of consumers to be more trustworthy than digital media, it falls short in its ability to be agile. By using technology to drive sophisticated and personalized communication, clients have the ability to create a relevant, meaningful and trustworthy follow-up that can be received within 48 hours of customer inquiries or sales activity. We will walk you through our six step process of automating your communication to customers and prospects alike that can dramatically shorten timelines, create cost efficiencies and ultimately help create a better experience for your customers and prospects. Using real-world examples we’ll provide insight into some of the business challenges others have faced and explore when it can be a suitable addition to your marketing program.
Speaker: John Leonard, VP Sales & Marketing, Cover-All
