NOVATO, Calif. March 18, 2008 -- iPost, an industry-leading provider of strategic email
marketing
solutions, today announced that the company will now offer its customers
content optimization for mobile devices. iPost’s
Content Optimizer enables companies doing email marketing to review
their creative content in leading email clients such as Outlook,
Hotmail, and Yahoo, prior to launching their campaigns. The new feature
allows iPost’s clients to validate and
optimize the appearance and workability of their emails for delivery to
mobile devices using email clients like Blackberry, Symbian, and Windows
Mobile.
“We are pleased to offer our customers the new
mobile rendering functionality, because it is especially relevant right
now with the increasing use of mobile devices,”
said Katrina Anderson, Delivery Assurance Officer for iPost. “We
worked to integrate the Optimizer into our delivery assurance solution,
and made sure that it fits seamlessly with all of the other features of
our iPost Mailing Manager. It is just another easy-to-use aspect of
content preparation before the launch of a mailing.”
The global mobile market subscriber base reached 3.25 billion in 2007,
and sales of smartphones overtook the sales of PCs and laptops for the
first time that year, as well. The market for smartphones is expected to
reach 1 billion units and grow 1600% in the next 3 years. With the
multitude of smartphone and mobile device designs, screen sizes and
functionality, it is a challenge for marketers to ensure their email
messages are not only received, but received effectively, by mobile
device users.
iPost worked in partnership with Pivotal Veracity, the number one ranked
independent email delivery auditing and optimization company, to develop
Content Optimizer, which is powered by Pivotal Veracity’s
eDesign Optimizer technology.
“It’s been great to
be able to work with iPost to develop their Content Optimizer,”
said Deirdre Baird, CEO of Pivotal Veracity. “With
the proliferation of mobile devices and so many brand messages being
delivered in this way, iPost’s Content
Optimizer now provides an easy and effective way to ensure integrity and
maintain control over the user’s experience
with the brand at the device level.”
iPost’s Content Optimizer takes the hard work
and guesswork out of email rendering, enabling users to validate that
their links are working and that their text and HTML render properly in
all leading email clients worldwide and the top mobile device email
programs.
iPost’s Content Optimizer is a part of a
complete suite of delivery assurance services offered by iPost, which
includes the Delivery Tracker report which was also developed by Pivotal
Veracity. The Tracker allows the sender to audit the entire email
delivery process, providing comprehensive reporting on what percent of
the messages are reaching the inbox, being redirected to the spam
folder, and being bounced.
