    PHPList


    PHPlist是一个开源newsletter管理器,易于与任何网站相集成。PHPlist的下载量每个月超过
    一万多次。它具有双向确认(opt-in)订阅机制,定时调度,RSS,点击跟踪,支持附件,退件
    管理等特性。


    这是一个定期帮你发电子邮件给用户的一个系统。如果牵涉的电子邮件多(比如说一分钟内
    发布超过10000个电子邮件)的话,可能会让服务器的工作量忽然增加。若这套系统的设定
    不恰当的话(如:同时发放数百万个电子邮件),会造成服务器瘫痪。所以,有很多服务器
    不让用。主要原因有几大:

    1)怕菜鸟用户乱设定把服务器弄至瘫痪
    2)乱设定将会被接受方认为此服务器正在发布垃圾邮件而阻挡了所有该服务器IP所发的电邮。

    上述两项已经足够服务商终止对用户的服务而不做另外的补偿。他们可以以违反了spam的定
    义及条约约来终止服务。当然服务商除了spam的条约之外还有其他的如:儿童色情和版权问
    题等。不过这个主题说的是大宗电子邮件。那就不节外生枝了。

    俺的实践和经验:
    phplist的最佳设定是30~60秒发放一个电子邮件。若俺有120万个电子邮件名录的话,那么
    每30S发一个...1分钟发俩...一小时发120...1万个小时(服务器不眠不休的要417天才能发完)

    The funny thing is when I googled it today, th paid sponsor link changed back to Fabia.
     
    Well, it's really good easy campaign.
     
    You pay only for several days google ad sponsorship, and use that camapaign image to create a SEM story (being posted on various marketing sites) to promoto the car.
     
    Very cheap indeed

    Facebook status report

     
    The latest Facebook Global Monitor report released by Inside Facebook has revealed, rather unsurprisingly, that China heads the pack of three countries that actually lost more active users than it gained for the month of September (the other two being Iceland and Cyprus). When Facebook was banned in July, the social network had one million monthly active users. That figure collapsed to half a million in August, before shrinking further to 41,000 in early September, and now as of the beginning of this month, only a measly 14,000 remain. Totally authoritative anecdotal reports suggest that these 14,000 diehard Facebook users comprised mostly of smart Shanghaiist readers who know where to get their VPN and other desperate expats who just miss their friends back home.

    Online Marketing

     
     

    Friendly's

     
    Q&A from Skip Weldon, VP of Marketing at Friendly's about restaurant kid friendly interactive campaign
     
    Q What was the genesis of the "I wanna go to Friendly's" interactive campaign?

    A The campaign was created in March to support an effort we began last year with what was a very successful commercial. We saw tremendous organic interest with this effort online. Kids were posting their own impressions of the "I wanna go to Friendly's" campaign on YouTube.

    Q What was the execution?

    A We developed interactive games on a dedicated campaign Web site, IWannaGoToFriendlys.com. We connected the concept that was on television and that was in the restaurant to a Web site with games that further reinforced the message. We also ran the "Sprinkle vision" promotion that began in the restaurants, where kids were given glasses with codes on them that drove them to our Web site. There was also a connection when they came to the Web site to play games to get them to come back to the restaurant to get more codes to play online.

    Q What were the results?

    A We have about 95,000 kids who are playing these games. In addition, the amount of time that kids spent on the site grew compared with the initial launch.

    Q What age range did you target?

    A We were trying to connect the brand with eight- to 12-year-olds. But we've also seen interest from younger kids, teenagers and parents.

    Q Did you have any challenges creating messaging that is geared towards children?

    A We want to be responsible in talking to kids and make sure that kids and their parents perceive the brand as a responsible brand, so the messaging has to be responsible. It is a big challenge, because sometimes you may have ideas that could be very compelling and very exciting, but you've got to realize who your audience is and respect them. We take that very seriously.

    Q Was the goal of the campaign customer acquisition or retention?

    A It was both. There is always an opportunity for us to grow the brand and get people excited about Friendly's restaurant. And every year, there is a whole new set of consumers who are coming into our audience, so we constantly have to keep things exciting.

    Sara Lee Deli launched a social media campaign on September 14 to promote its pre-sliced deli meats to moms. The goal of the “Mama saga” effort is to build awareness of its prepackaged products and acquire new customers, while at the same time bolstering relationships with existing customers.

    “We're really looking to build consumer relationships with our brand using social media,” said Becky Thomas, assistant brand manager at Sara Lee Deli. “If you have a brand ambassador making a personal recommendation to their friends in their social space, then that recommendation is really going to matter.”

    The campaign includes online videos, created in conjunction with Second City Communications, and dedicated Facebook and Twitter pages. The social media creative focuses on the everyday struggles of moms running a family and features actors who are also real-life mothers. The online community content also ties into the theme of the busy life of a mom. The Facebook page includes satirical webcam “confessional” videos that ask, “How would you handle this Mama Saga?” while having fun with the issues that face moms. 

    In a move to build interactivity, the Facebook page includes one-on-one conversations with mom bloggers and mom blogger networks, as well as recipes, tips and promotions. Consumers who join the brand's Facebook page get a $3-off coupon.

    Videos launched this week at various Web destinations, including the Sara Lee Deli Facebook page, a dedicated channel on Metacafe, YouTube, Break.com, Dailymotion, Yahoo Video, VideoEgg, Pandora TV and AOL Video.
