(Palo Alto, Calif. - May 7, 2009 - Boomerang.com) Email marketing expert David Kearney, CEO of email marketing firm Boomerang.com, commented on research showing that online retailers are embracing email marketing in large numbers. Noting that these marketing departments will need the best mass email tool possible for their email marketing campaigns, Kearney directed them to BlastWizard, an award-winning email hosting tool.
"As marketing tactics undergo unprecedented scrutiny and evolution at the hands of an economic recession and Web 2.0," said Kearney, "the marketplace continues to see email marketing claiming its seat at the table of next-generation marketing tools" He encouraged readers to learn more by watching video about Boomerang at the company's website.
A veteran of MIPS Computer Systems and now CEO of Boomerang, Kearney has filled many roles in marketing and engineering for the high-tech industry. Before co-founding the award-winning email marketing firm Boomerang in 1991, he earned an MBA from Cornell University's S.C. Johnson Graduate School of Management. Kearney's articles on email marketing have appeared in business periodicals such as DM News, and publications such as AllBusinesshave quoted him on his email marketing expertise.
According to a May 5th report in Reuters, nearly one in nine (88 percent) of 117 online retailers surveyed by Forrester Research in conjunction with Shop.org, a division of the National Retail Federation, indicated that email marketing is a high priority in 2009. Furthermore, according to a related report published the same day on ReadWriteWeb, 65 percent of these same 117 companies said that they are focusing their actual investments this year in email marketing, which is second only to investments in search and ahead of investments in social media.
"Email campaigns are clearly emerging as part of the mix of marketing tactics now seen as essential in response to the first post-Web 2.0 economic recession," said Kearney. "This is smart, because the fact is that email marketing yields an impressive return on investment. The key, of course, is to select the best mass email tool possible. Without this, email marketers will invariably encounter undue difficulties acting on their otherwise excellent instinct to market directly to their target audience via email"
In 2008, users of salesforce.com gave BlastWizard the most four-star and five-star ratings of any email hosting tool, qualifying Boomerang's product to receive that CRM provider's award of "Best Mass Email Tool" BlastWizard is available for a free email marketing trial. Several companies offer small business email campaign tools. Among them, however, Boomerang is alone in approaching email marketing for small business in a customized, tailored way to create individualized email campaigns for clients. Furthermore, Boomerang's consultants are able to draw on a legacy of experience that the company has with enterprise clients, whose needs for email marketing campaigns have imbued Boomerang with the kind of institutional knowledge that yields best practices.
