Oracle Marketing Consulting: Issue 91

Ah, Spring cleaning.
Out with the old…

But not so fast. Just because you’re tired of your email template doesn’t mean it’s time to scrap it. To make smart decisions on what to change and why: (1) Start with an audit, looking for brand inconsistencies and enhancement opportunities. (2) Let your data guide you to keep high-performing elements, and test and replace low-performing ones. (3) Consider rendering, including accessibility and dark mode. And (4) invest in a project manager, as redesigns involve multiple teams and lots of approvals.

Say What?

 

“Large language models like ChatGPT are entirely designed to figure out what the next best word in a sentence is to give a coherent answer that will make people say, That’s a good answer. It does not have any ability to fact check what it has generated, and since it was trained on public text, it is prone to make errors.”
