Delivra Semi Annual Update

Yesterday, we released our Semi Annual Update.  We’d like to take this blog post and outline it for our blog readers and those that may have missed the press release.

Delivra reports continued growth through new and existing business along with an award highlighting that growth and innovation even further for 2010.

“Each year, we like to reflect back on the first half of the year to keep our customers, partners, and other interested parties apprised of our progress,” said Neil Berman, President & CEO.

Highlights for the first half of 2010 include:

“In the first half of this year, we have already surpassed our historical growth pattern,” said Berman.  “In addition to that growth, 2010 has marked a year in which we have seen marketers evolve in the ways they are utilizing the power of email marketing.  That power is also being harnessed through various partner integrations along with expansion in the volume and types of email marketers are sending today.”

As we move on to complete 2010, we reflect on a portion of the year where growth and innovation were accomplished, and yet there is still much to do to ensure we are that resource to each and every email we work with everyday.  For example, Delivra has focused on providing email marketing education both in webinar, blog, and best practice expertise yet as resources are developed we find the need for even more content to address the flood of possibilities.

“I believe that if our customers are not successful marketers, then we are not doing our job efficiently.  Everyday Delivra helps our customers focus on their business, while we provide the engine to send, the software to create, or the analytics to track each campaign.  We look forward to serving your email marketing needs for many years to come,” said Berman.

Blog Indiana 2010

I, along with the Delivra Director of Marketing, Carissa Newton, attended the Blog Indiana 2010 Conference held at the Informatics and Communications Technology Complex this past weekend.  It was a great event where several speakers offered their expertise about the world of blogging, social media, and related topics.

Carissa was one of the presenters during the 2-day event and spoke about blogging and how it was relatable to a marriage (an interesting combination!) in No Road is Long With Good Company.  For those of you that couldn’t make it to the event, we will be posting video as soon as it is made available.

During the presentation and throughout the conference, Carissa was able to encourage (with Starbucks and iTunes giftcards) others to be guest bloggers on the Delivra blog.  So, avid readers of eMailchatr: make sure you are staying tuned in for the next couple of weeks as we start to post some of these blogs written by experts in their given fields.

Furthermore, one of the conference attendees, John Uhri or @yOmbo (if you prefer), offered his “sketchnote” abilities and took notes from the several presentations he attended, Carissa’s being one of them.

For a look at the rest of his “sketchnotes”, please visit his blog!  They are a creative, unique resource to see what some of the presenters from the Blog Indiana conference discussed.

Wave Goodbye

I don’t know about you, but I’m kind of sad to see that Google has halted the development on their Wave product.

I saw it as a bold re-imagining of email.  Wave was originally introduced to me as “what email would look like if it was developed today” and that’s exactly how I saw it – a more collaborative tool designed around sharing beyond simple forwarding.  Those you chose to share a wave with were now part of the conversation, not just recipients.

The problem, as I see it, is that email DOES already exist and has been such an effective and easy to use tool, that people weren’t ready to replace it.  Blogs, Facebook, Twitter and the like satisfy the need to share (and often overshare).

Thumbing Around BMA Engage 2010

The Business Marketing Association’s Engage 2010 conference held in Chicago the first week of June was an exciting gathering of some of the best thinkers in marketing today.  As each speaker took the stage, the audience found another great nugget to take back to the real world and implement to make their marketing programs better.

Delivra attendees were struck when they looked around the room and saw that nearly every person was engaged not only with the speaker, but was also busy tweeting, emailing, blogging, YouTubing, Foursquaring, or interacting in some other way with their smartphone.
