What works well with email marketing in January?

[Azam.biz]

We own a number of email lists in the USA and have been sifting through the networks picking out campaigns for January.

Of course we're focusing on the perennial New Year favorites like financial products, dieting, biz ops and dating. Are there any specific CPL/CPA campaigns that you would recommend for January?

(Actually, are there any there any reputable networks that have CPM email campaigns please?)

Happy holidays to everyone

Hi there Adam.biz....

What you've asked is a good question.... But remember one thing...

-With the cold season ON and in full effect, so is the prospect/bigger likelihood of people doing more online shopping (especially on certain price breaks for things like electronics, etc... just about anything now - even CLOTHES if you know your size ;-)

So, what that means is that it's a perfect time to go all out with some good targeted coreg marketing... Let me know what type of special niche you're interested in, as the current coreg feed i've been working with has well over 3500+ different unique sources in it...

www.coreg4marketers.com/work/seperatesource.jpg is what ive been working on lately; ..this new coreg source has well over 3500 diff/unique/distinct sources to it, and it's my job to UN-SEPERATE everything unfortunately...

But I will SOON have a LIST up of all the sources, and i'm sure that you all will find the categories you need with relative ease.


Thanks,

I think with the rumor of a recession in 2008 and a projection of 1.4 million newly foreclosed homes, something that many people will come to search online is a way to settle debts, get equity cash and stop foreclosure. I'm afraid that this might be a year when people search more for how to save the clothes on their backs than to buy new ones.

I just don't believe that most of the usual New-Year-resolution related products will resonate in 2008 searches because quite frankly, people don't have money!

Hey stacy-

...you make a good point about that when you mention the number of foreclosures on homes out there. It's a bad sign of the economy. However, I only took a brief course in Econ in college, and that doesn't qualify me as any kind of expert on the economy, but I also believe that one other IMPORTANT factor that will affect sales is time coupled with technology...

...reguardless of whether people are poor, they will buy products when they can or want to...and the fact that it's now become more mainstream to buy a 30$ Brand new insured (by Ebay and Paypal) DVD Player or such an item online rather than paying a retail price somewhere in the hundreds possibly by shopping at the mall somewhere.

People know now how much money you can REALLY save by just "ebaying" an electronic device or similar item... and the knowlege of this is growing- it's a one way street with this... It's certainly not just a fad or something that will go away in a year or so...

So, I think that overall, online spending will only stay constant or grow...

Just my 2 cents...

Thanks,

Yes, you're right. The staircase toward online shopping leads up, although at the moment we're going a few steps down. I've been selling on eBay for 3 years and lol, it's just a My Space waiting to happen. They don't even have a functional search function for people to find products and sellers leave because of fees, but on other DIY-created entrepreneurial websites, you bet sales will continue. I just think that people will want to buy the things they need first. Despite the fact that electronics and little gadgets are more accessible to buy online nowadays, I still think it's a luxury many people will skip, regardless of the convenience or savings.

Another vertical to think about is Travel. Now that the holidays are over and its pretty cold in most of the US people may be in the mood for a tropical getaway.
