The Hard Truth About Your Email Strategy

Recorded on: May 13, 2025

Your email list could be one of your most valuable marketing assets, but it only works if your entire email process is handled with care.

If it’s not, you risk damaging your brand – and your sender reputation. Join Alan Gross, President of GSM, and Email Guru, Deanna Fisher, for candid advice about what it takes to run effective email marketing today. We’ll dive into what works, what doesn’t, and what to do next.

You’ll leave more confident about: 

  • The truth about an opt-in email list
  • Easy ways to destroy your sender reputation (and how not to)
  • Tease or tell – short vs. long form messages
  • Deciding between quantity vs. quality
  • Optimizing your email strategy

Share This? Absolutely!

Feel free to share this invitation with colleagues who are focused on improving top line growth and bottom-line ROI through client acquisition, engagement, and retention. They are welcome here.
