Sitecore ECM Email Campaign Manager Demo

Sitecore ECM Email Campaign Manager Demo

Kimberly McCabe... - Wednesday, June 30, 2010

Last week I had a demo of Sitecore’s new Emal Campaign Manager “Sitecore ECM”. The Sitecore ECM offers the ability to deepen the understanding of those reading your emails. The greatest obstacle to improving the effectiveness of email marketing campaigns is in understanding what readers do beyond the “open rates” and URLs clicked. So marketers tend to rate the success of email campaigns based on increases or decreases in opens and URLs clicked. This is frustrating because email marketing can be a very effective way of reaching your prospects and current customers. Without much data available it is difficult to understand what is hindering or helping our email marketing success. There are so many factors to consider: subject line, design, CTAs, content… And the worst part of email marketing is that even if you manage to figure how to tweak the above – you don’t know what happens when the email opener clicks through to your website. Sure, you might be able to compare the effects on traffic on the day you sent your campaign and the days following. But that doesn’t necessarily tell you enough. And then there’s the joy of trying segment your email marketing database! More

You Got the Traffic but do you GET the traffic?

You Got the Traffic but do you GET the traffic?

Kimberly McCabe... - Thursday, May 06, 2010

Marketers are very concerned with the volume of traffic reaching their websites. However concerns and opinions of measuring conversion rates are all over the map. On many a webinar I have heard someone say a high bounce-rate is bad. I don’t think that is ALWAYS the case. To get straight to the point, conversions are likely the most important analytic because “conversion” usually somehow equates to making money or tightening a relationship. But if you have only a basic analytics system at hand, then you have a very limited view or understanding of what people are doing on your website. You might be able to track how many new customers you have versus returning customers, average pageviews per visitor, which pages have the most traffic, which CTAs are clicked thru, etc. But usually you have very little insight into the on-going activities of any particular people on your website…even those that unbeknownst to you are in the buying-cycle.  More

Enterprise EPiServer: Active Directory Integration

Enterprise EPiServer: Active Directory Integration

Ricardo Acevedo... - Thursday, February 25, 2010

This topic has two different approaches based on the EPiServer CMS product version. The last CMS version R2 has already integrated the configuration provider, under EPiServer.Security, so in this version the Active Directory (AD) integration is really simple. In the other hand, for previous versions, we have to do a manual configuration, in this case we have to download the source code from the EPiServer community website.  More
