We highly recommend that every email capture source is tagged with an identifier on the backend so you can determine how each is performing. Doing this will allow you to invest in high-value sources, as well as to shut down poorly performing sources.

We worked with a global retailer to change their unsubscribe page to mitigate opt-outs, which typically increase slightly during and right after the holidays. By adding the option to stay subscribed and to pause emails for 30 days, we found the average unsubscribe rate on holiday campaigns dropped 82%. The approach was so successful that we left it in place year-round.

In today’s fast paced go-to-market environment, company executives need to understand the time and cost of managing a vast number of vendors across their martech stack. The increasingly not-so-hidden integration and maintenance costs of having a Frankenstack should be compared to the cost-savings and performance benefits of partnering with a smaller number of vendors to meet their needs.
