It's time for email marketing standards! 

Voice your support here, now. 

Thank you for your interest in the work of the DMA/Email Experience Council project to standardize email marketing definitions. 

 

Welcome to the Email Measurement Standards project.

 

We want the industry to use the same terms to mean the same things. 

Think it doesn't happen today?  Think again.  Many email service providers and other broadcast systems use the same terms - bounce, delivered, open, click through -- but the definitions behind those terms are NOT the same. 

This makes it very difficult to standardize, benchmark and move between vendors.

 

Check out our recommended definitions here: http://idek.net/~0l

Then, sign the petition below.   And tell your colleagues. 

 

Twitter:  RT eec_measurement Just signed the Email Metrics Standards petition - check it out here.

 

Thank you so much!

this would save me so much time. counting bounces differently per vendor is just lazy.

Hello, Did you know that comments are the greatest Social Signals in the world? That's right, relevant comments are a proven way to Boost Your Social Signals, Traffic and Engagement. Lazier forms of social signals such as likes, smileys and hearts are all fine & dandy...but they can never compare to the Power of Comments. So if you want to soar past your competition while experiencing the benefits of relevant comments on your site, contact me now for full details along with an exclusive offer for new clients only. Best Regards, Brian BulkComments Network
