Keynote Presentation
Beyond the Click: Understanding the Full Value of Email to your Business

Thursday, February 23rd | 8:30 A.M. – 9:45 A.M.

Speaker:
Jessica Harley
VP of Customer Marketing,
Gilt Groupe
Many marketers have seen declining click rates from emails, and subsequently click-through email revenue in recent years. This is often interpreted as declining effectiveness of email as a channel. While it is true that we need to continue to evolve email to better tailor to our customers’ needs and preferences to keep up, the picture may not be as gloomy as it appears. Customers have changed how they interact with email as mobile shopping has increased and web browsing has evolved. Gilt Groupe has built one of today’s top eCommerce businesses largely fueled by email amidst these trends. This session will provide insights into how Gilt measures the full value of email, how that understanding has driven its focus and development, and tactics they have used to stay relevant and keep their members engaged. Learn analytical methods, personalization strategies, and cross channel communication tactics that can help drive increased engagement from your customers.
