A Month of Email Marketing Analyzed

Bill McCloskey, whose company, Emerging Interest, puts out a product called Comprehensive Email Tracking System which is made up of a vast database of monitored email addresses, has released month’s worth of email tracking data to draw a picture detailing who is using email to sell product. The top market sectors using email marketing are coupons and promotion, home-based businesses, credit card companies, business services, home study, online universities and computer products. The coupons and promotions category is made up of companies who use opt-in email addresses to send third party offers and includes companies such as Remodel 4 Free, owned by 123 Click; SubscriberBase, owned by FreeSlide; Franklin Surveys, owned by SilverCarrot; GroupLotto and Winhundred.com, owned by Traffix; Enjoy Savings, owned by Advertising.com; Quality Health, owned by Marketing Technology Solutions; WinSweepstakes.net and Jackpot.com, owned by The Vendare Group; and It’s Your Opinion, owned by Permission Data LLC. The rest of the study details the other categories and reveals most big brands are still not using email in their marketing programs.

Behavioral scientists found that people who were overly criticized growing up often become less likeable as they get older — not because their personality deteriorates but because the exhaustion of performing acceptability for 50 years eventually exceeds the energy available, and the “difficult” person their family describes is often just someone who finally stopped auditioning for approval that was never going to be granted unconditionally

I’m 73 and my husband planned a cruise for our 50th anniversary and by the second evening I was standing on the deck looking at the ocean and crying—not because I was unhappy but because I’d expected to feel something enormous and instead I felt exactly the same as I do in my kitchen, and the realization that geography doesn’t fix the thing that’s wrong when the thing that’s wrong is internal was the most expensive lesson I’ve ever been taught in a bathrobe

Research suggests the simple act of eating a meal without your phone has become one of the most radical things a person can do for their mental health — not because the phone is harmful, but because the meal without it is the only daily occasion most people have left to exist without being reachable

The generation that was never allowed to be tired, never allowed to be lost, never allowed to need anything from anyone is now sitting in quiet houses in their late 60s and 70s wondering why a lifetime of being needed by everyone left them feeling known by no one

The real reason your aging father who never expressed emotion in sixty years of marriage openly weeps when the family dog dies isn’t sentimentality. The dog was the one relationship where he was allowed to be soft without it being questioned, and the grief isn’t just about the animal, it’s about losing the only door he ever found for the feelings he was raised to lock away

My daughter described her childhood to a friend last week and I overheard it from the next room—and the mother she described wasn’t cruel or cold, she was just less present than I remember being, less patient than I thought I was, and less fun than I tried to be—and the distance between the mother I performed and the mother she received is a gap I can hear but never close because her version is the only one that counts
