Corporate Takes Highest Honor

2014-05-01 HERMES PLATINUM

We are very excited to announce that our corporate HQ, Business Extension Bureau has earned the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP) highest industry honor, The Platinum Hermes Award.  The honor is for their entry of a quarterly newsletter known as, The Bureau.

This year’s competition was fierce, with over 5,500 entrants from all over the world vying for top honors.  The annual contest is for creative professionals involved in the concept, writing and design of traditional and emerging media. Entries came from corporate marketing and communication departments, advertising agencies, PR firms, design shops, production companies and freelancers.

The AMCP is an international organization that consists of several thousand marketing professionals.  The judges look for companies and individuals whose talent exceeds a high standard of excellence and whose work serves as a benchmark for the industry.  Winners were selected from 195 categories and only 15% of the entries won top honors.

Congratulations to BEB-Business Extension Bureau!

You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby (e-mail)

Our corporate is the marketing arm of Business Extension Bureau – BEB.  They recently studied results reviewing our marketing via e-mail and found some interesting facts.  Over the past 9 months we generated 11 e-mail blasts and during that period of time, our bounce rate has been reduced by a staggering 63.1%!  Silverpops, Mail Chimp and Constant Contact report the average open rate is around 19% while our stats show we earn an average of 36.7%!
Corporate also studied data of the time of day an e-mail blast was sent and compared the number of opens received.  The results are inconclusive but fascinating none-the-less and begs the question, “Does the time of day that you send an e-mail matter?”
