How to Navigate Email Marketing’s New Rules, Pitfalls in a Pandemic World

January 17, 2022 (Global News Distribution) -

Email marketing has long been an effective way for B2B marketers to reach customers, but COVID-19 made email marketing critical as other channels are no longer effective. Higher volumes of emails mean greater risks for blacklisting and other pitfalls, especially for the inexperienced as Sky Cassidy, CEO of Mountaintop Data, explains.

The nature of email marketing has shifted as a result of COVID-19, and it’s critical that marketers stay up to speed. With more people transitioning to remote work, other mediums such as phone and physical mail have been rendered less effective. But the higher volume of marketing emails saturating inboxes also presents a challenge to those who are less experienced with email marketing—how to beat out the competition and make sure their email gets the attention it deserves. “There are multiple forces working simultaneously,” says Sky Cassidy, CEO of MountainTop Data. “On the one hand, people are going to be emailing more. But on the other hand, more email means more friction, which means you’re going to have more issues with email accounts.”

While a recent study revealed that users opened COVID-19 related emails 30 percent more often than other email campaigns, this increase in volume also brought a higher number of complaints.(1) Customers isolated at home due to COVID-19 lockdowns led to an increase in ecommerce and higher volumes of emails. Email providers responded to this increase in volume by changing the rules pertaining to the filtering and spam classification of the emails. More emails were likely to end up in spam folders or undelivered, and senders were more likely to be blacklisted. Consequently, this combination of factors meant customers were less likely to open emails.

While the pandemic played a role on the changes that have occurred with email marketing, Cassidy points out that another cause for confusion was the lack of set rules for email marketing. To counteract this, he suggests B2B marketers use their instincts based on the marketing intelligence they have gathered about their customers. “You must go where your audience is and where they’re most likely to be receptive. In marketing, you’re constantly experimenting,” says Cassidy “For example, you may notice zero responses from physical mailers and then conclude that these particular customers you were trying to reach are not in the office. So, you must find the next most effective way to reach them.”

The most common pitfalls that inexperienced marketers tend to fall victim to nowadays include blacklisting, outdated and incomplete information, damaged reputation due to higher email bounce rates, and wasted time and money. Cassidy also points out another major pitfall he has seen damaging email marketing efforts: using newsletter platforms such as Mailchimp and Constant Contact to send cold emails. While these platforms are very useful, they were not designed for sending cold emails to bulk lists of contacts that have been purchased or haven’t previously engaged with your company. “People don’t realize you can’t just load 20,000 emails you purchased into those platforms and send them, [the newsletter platforms] frown on that,” says Cassidy.

Cassidy points out that in B2B marketing it’s often necessary to have two or even three different email channels. “First you have your sales and engagement platforms, the individual salespeople sending individual emails, and then an automated version of that with these platforms. Then you have your marketing newsletter style, direct marketing to existing opt-in people, and finally your cold email channel,” explains Cassidy.

So, how can novice email marketers avoid the other pitfalls and engage in this advertising medium more effectively? Besides making sure to use the right email platform for the right purpose, it’s also critical that marketers ensure they have clean, accurate, and up-to-date data. To achieve this, Cassidy suggests creating a “hibernation list” to keep track of emails that are unresponsive for a long period of time. And when it comes to outdated emails, not to make the common mistake of assuming that this problem is evenly distributed throughout your data. Cassidy points out that this is likely not the case if you consider that the turnover rate of CEOs, for example, is much lower than low-level IT people in an organization, or CMOs who have an average turnover rate of less than two years. As a result, people end up getting rid of a lot of good, useful data.(2)

For email marketing to be effective, marketers must know their client and their particular segment of the audience, says Cassidy. The lack of social interaction that has plagued the world since the COVID-19 lockdowns started has led people to have stronger desires and expectations for personal connection from businesses.(3) Marketers must understand how the audience thinks and feels, and what particular value the product holds for them. Then they can tailor emails and subject lines based on specific client insights, making it more likely to grab attention. Over time, businesses can form strong bonds with customers and improve their reputations, which makes finalizing deals more likely. And for cold emails, Cassidy suggests keeping them “short, catchy, and to-the-point, like a billboard.” He points out that the shorter the message is, the more likely it is to be absorbed and retained by your audience.

Finally, when it comes to avoiding common email marketing pitfalls, it’s critical to ensure you have the right keywords and attributes that will make your email appear authentic, and less likely to be marked as spam. Some of the surefire ways to get your emails blacklisted include putting a large amount of text in capital letters, using words like “free” or “discount” too frequently, or putting these terms in the email’s subject line.

While there is likely to be a shift at some point back to other mediums of marketing (such as phone and physical mail), most of these changes in email marketing are likely to stay, according to Cassidy. “Once we break the seal and everybody’s working from home, it’s not going to go back to everybody in the office.” However, it’s important marketers continue to pay attention to where their audience is and where they are the most receptive, as this can change depending on factors such as business size, industry, or niche. Cassidy says there have been changes companies are seeing as necessary to deliver the most accurate and useful data, such as developing a method to flag remote workers, so marketers don’t waste time and money sending them physical mailers.

The good news, according to Cassidy, is that despite the pandemic, doing business is moving forward, albeit with some slight adjustments. And now that digital marketers have endured the growing pains of these recent changes, they can reap the benefits. “People will probably continue to do more email marketing than they ever did before, because now they’ve learned how to do it properly. They’ve gotten blacklisted, fixed it, and are now doing it the right way.”

Real Estate Developer NRIA Builds in West New York with a Car-free Lifestyle in Mind

January 17, 2022 (Global News Distribution) -

National Realty Investment Advisors (NRIA), a leading developer of luxury real estate on the East Coast, announces that it is building its latest developments in West New York, New Jersey, called “The Station,” and “The Grand and The Metro,” with the growing car-free lifestyle in mind.

The pandemic fast-forwarded an increasing ability to work from home that is partly behind many Americans’ decision to ditch their automobile. Without a commute to work, a full-time car just isn’t as necessary.

NRIA is taking note of this trend and investing in walkable communities like West New York, a Manhattan bedroom community that has easy access to public transportation and great restaurants and culture. NRIA’s two-tower residential rental community, “The Grand and The Metro,” at 508 and 511-513 51st Street, and “The Station,” at 4901 Bergenline Avenue, were all designed with a thought towards those who choose to live car-free.

Even before the pandemic, a car-free movement was gaining momentum. Two-thirds of Americans now report walking, biking, or taking public transport for at least one trip each week, according to a transportation study by the Urban Affairs and Planning Department of Virginia Polytechnic Institute.

Residents of NRIA’s “The Station” and “The Grand and The Metro” will be able to take advantage of all three-walking, biking, and public transportation. Within walking distance of
“The Station,” “The Grand and The Metro” is a Hudson-Bergen commuter rail line station, which brings riders into New York City and up and down northern New Jersey.

“West New York embodies everything that made places like Hoboken so attractive before the pandemic,” says Richard Stabile, senior vice president of project acquisition, new construction, and sales for NRIA. “It’s a great commuter town. We took the city and state’s decision to promote light rail in the region and ran with it.”

And despite a community parking garage to be built on-site at each of their West New York properties, NRIA made a strong effort to consider what sorts of amenities residents without a car might desire.

Bike racks, a gym, a 24-hour grab-and-go convenience store, and a business center with a high-speed printer will all be available on-site for residents of “The Grand and The Metro.” “We are making it so that the residents can access as much as possible without needing a car,” Stabile says. “…Everything is right there. And what isn’t within walking distance, you can reach with public transportation. For those working from home, they shouldn’t need to go far for much.”

A hallmark of West New York, a town of roughly 50,0000 people, walkability remains a focus of its Mayor, Gabriel Rodriguez, who is committed to a revitalization project which is improving the walking areas along West New York’s “miracle mile.”

These blocks from 56th Street to 49th Street on West New York’s Bergenline Avenue offer a variety of shops and restaurants, from chains to independent small businesses.

NRIA understands, however, that just because renters in places like Jersey City and West New York might not own a car, that doesn’t mean they will never need or want one. So Zipcars, or a similar ride-sharing car, will be at the ready on-site at NRIA’s “The Grand and The Metro,” for residents’ use as needed.

Across the ocean in Europe, major cities like London, Oslo, and Madrid are making concerted efforts to reduce the number of cars on their streets. And here in America, cities like New York and states like New Jersey are doing the same. Developers like NRIA, too, are doing what they can to accommodate that. “I think we will see more and more buildings designed with a car-free lifestyle in mind,” says NRIA’s Stabile.

About NRIA

With a history of over a decade of delivering the highest quality in construction, NRIA, headquartered in Secaucus, New Jersey, has earned its reputation as one of the leading real estate developers in the nation.

The unveiling of the Clear Creek Clubhouse follows a benchmark year of sales at the community, as Clear Creek Tahoe has closed 93 new homesites, achieving more than $99 million in sales in 2021. Year over year, this reflects a 32 percent increase in overall sales, a 35 percent increase in the average homesite sale price and a 29 percent increase of the average home sales price.

Clear Creek Tahoe is set on a spectacularly unspoiled sanctuary of 2,136 acres bordered by six million acres of the largest national forest in the lower 48 states and features a bespoke amenity suite featuring year-round offerings.

District BBQ Launches First Halal Smokehouse in DC Metro

January 10, 2022 (Global News Distribution) -

Entrepreneur Ahmad Ashkar Goes Long on Halal QSR

Entrepreneur Ahmad Ashkar converts award-winning barbecue brand District BBQ to a complete halal quick service restaurant (QSR). After years of popular demand, the Washington D.C. metro is getting a halal barbecue smokehouse. With upwards of close to 500,000 Muslims currently living in the region, restaurateur and founder – Ahmad Ashkar says the decision to go halal in 2022 is easier than ever. “Halal is the new vegan. Consumers are demanding a more ethical, socially and economically aligned option, and that’s exactly what halal offers. Muslim Millennials and Gen-Z are favoring halal options at a higher rate than their parents, and for the first time, thanks to national brands like The Halal Guys, we are seeing demand coming from outside the Muslim consumer market.”

District BBQ will continue offering its signature sandwiches, including the District Z, named one of the region’s top sandwiches by Washingtonian Magazine. The sandwich is filled with a quarter pound of thinly sliced brisket, stacked high on Texas Toast and topped with onion rings, slaw, American cheese and tangy barbecue sauce. Other crowd favorites include the Spicy Bama chicken sandwich, legendary Kansas City-style burnt ends, a two-pound chopped brisket stuffed baked potato, smoked wings and pulled chicken. The company has also introduced Peruvian-style, coal-fired halal chicken through its partner Chicken Pollo, and the early reviews could not be better. “Coal-fired rotisserie chicken is an insanely delicious, healthy and affordable alternative to traditional slow-smoked barbecue. With rising beef costs and supply chain shortages across the U.S., healthy, farm-raised halal chicken represents a booming market opportunity that is good for both consumers and business owners alike,” Ahmad Ashkar goes on to say. Franchising for both brands is set to begin later this year. 

You can learn more about District BBQ and place your online or catering order by visiting districtbbq.com or by heading to their Vienna location.

The Elmes Group has represented the Buyer on the sale of Fort Lauderdale’s most iconic property – La Maison Blanche, otherwise known as The White House. La Maison Blanche, built by the Galt family in 1936 (as in Galt Ocean Mile) epitomizes Florida glamour. Encompassing an entire island point of Fort Lauderdale, it is a private isle unto itself with 1.5 acres and 817 feet of deep water frontage. The estate has mega yacht dockage with the potential to dock multiple large boats including accommodation for up to 200′ on the south side of the property.

Boak & Sons, Inc. Completes New Roof on Tippecanoe Country Club

January 7, 2022 (Global News Distribution) -

Boak & Sons completed an impressive new roof on the Tippecanoe Country Club (TCC) in Canfield, Ohio.

Boak & Sons, Inc. is a residential and commercial exterior contracting company based in Youngstown, Ohio. Specializing in roofing, siding, insulation, gutters, and sheet metal, the company has completed several high-profile roofing, insulation and architectural sheet metal jobs, such as the Youngstown Amphitheater, The Youngstown State University football stadium, the Historic Saint Mary’s Church in the central district of Warren, Ohio and many others. Recently, Boak & Sons completed an impressive new roof on the Tippecanoe Country Club (TCC) in Canfield, Ohio.

At the start of 2020, Boak & Sons received a request from TCC to take a look at some loose shingles. Upon inspection, Boak discovered that the existing shingles, installed in 1984, had reached the end of their life expectancy. There were many missing shingles, and the ones still present had significant storm, wind, and hail damage. Boak & Sons worked hand-in-hand with TCC to develop a plan to replace the entire roof.

“When we get a job like the Tippecanoe Country Club, we get excited” said Chris White, vice president, operations of Boak & Sons, Inc. “We take pride in every job we do, but big projects like this give us a chance to really show the quality work we’re capable of. The Tippecanoe Country Club is a beautiful building, and we were honored to be chosen for a local project that helps us stay involved in our community here in Youngstown.”

To maintain the authentic style of roof on the country club, TCC and Boak & Sons chose a synthetic slate shingle called EcoStar, which closely resembles slate shingles. The club’s board members were instrumental in the process, selecting colors and styles that would best represent the club’s prestigious reputation. Due to the extremely steep slope of the roof, heavy duty and durable ice guards were also installed to help protect the roof in the cold Ohio months.

The actual roofing work began in August of 2021, with demolition and removal of the existing shingles. As the project started, the Boak & Sons crew noticed that the gutters were also deteriorating beyond repair. The club then selected a 6-inch, K-style gutter to replace the old gutter system. Inclement weather caused a two-week rain delay on the project, but otherwise installation was done in just an impressive 9 weeks.

“I want to sincerely thank the board members at Tippecanoe Country Club for trusting Boak & Sons with this project,” said Sam Boak, president and founder of Boak & Sons, Inc. “Everyone communicated in a timely matter and worked together to make this job as smooth as possible. I also want to thank my own employees for their continued dedication to superior quality service and safety. Their beautiful craftsmanship on this project is a prime example of their hard work and I couldn’t be more proud.”
