Bridge The Gap - A 6 Point Checklist for Effective Website Implementation
Kevin Garber (General Manager) - Jul 31, 2008
In the previous edition of our newsletter I explored the issue relating to “Minding The Gap” - the important task of determining whether there is a misalignment between your organisation’s online strategy and its broader strategy.
I noted that increasingly any organisation’s target market has high expectations of their online experience - an expectation that many organisations are falling short of.
In this article I want to provide you with a practical six point checklist that will assist in reviewing your online strategy and help you to “bridge the gap”.

So you spend several days working on your email campaign.
You involve your best designer and they put a terrific fresh look and feel together.
You labour through your writer’s block and after much toil nail down some compelling content.
You push send on the email campaign and pat your team and yourself on the back for a job well done.
A few days later you review the email campaign statistics and low and behold some people have unsubscribed!
How dare they! Why would they?
These are thoughts and questions that email marketers ponder on often when reviewing campaign statistics.
Hence the reason for this month’s philosophising on unsubcriptions.
