Welcome to DMA's Training Source

As you well know, email marketing is not a new vehicle for marketers. However, the rules and regulations surrounding email are constantly changing and you need to know how these changes affect your ability to effectively deploy your campaigns. How do you get your emails opened and responded to when inboxes are flooded with messages? Not sure?

DMA and the Email Experience Council offer you an array of educational programs to boost your email marketing efforts. Learn all the aspects of email marketing and you'll be surprised at how slight changes can make a tremendous difference in your response rates and bottom line.

Factoid of the Month

Permission Email Marketing: A Definition

Permission email marketing is an advertising medium which facilitates interaction between organizations and individuals who have given their permission to receive promotional messages and other information via email.



The Fundamentals of Permission
  • A person agrees to receive email communications
  • The person consciously does so
  • The person may unsubscribe at any time
  • The sender of each communication is clearly and honestly identified
  • The communication is not intentionally misleading

72% of firms polled send email to customers, a 10% increase over 2007, and 50% to prospects, a 9% hike.
