Engaging emails for better delivery

MessageSystems is sponsoring a webinar hosted by Direct Marketing discussing engagement as part of delivery.

  • What kind of emails ISPs are really watching out for
  • How engaging your customers could impact your deliverability
  • Best practices for email compliance

The ISP speaker is Matt Moleski, Senior Director of National Customer Security at Comcast. He is sure to be interesting. It’s possible we’ll even hear something different than what we hear from the webmail providers.
