While we chose Las Vegas for its entertaining and easily accessible location (more than 1,000
daily flights), the location is ironic in a way. When you think of this city, you think of luck and
flash. MarketingSherpa eschews luck in favor of evidence, and places more stock in proven
ability than flashy presentation.
Which is why you shouldn’t expect to be wowed by the linguistic fireworks of the presenters you
will see over the next three days. Yes, we invited a few top-notch, experienced speakers – David
Meerman Scott, Jeanne Jennings, Brian Carroll, Mike Volpe – but the rest of the 44 speakers you
are about to hear from in five general and more than 20 breakout sessions have been invited for
their accomplishments off the stage.
These are your peers. Client-side marketers from Yahoo!, Microsoft, Pandora, Air Canada, ATP
World Tour, The New York Public Library, and many more. They will be sharing 21 case studies to
help you understand what really works (and what doesn’t) in email marketing. Plus we’ll have
five expert panels to help you with your most pressing challenges.
Don’t leave Las Vegas without your email questions answered. Use #SherpaEmail on Twitter or
simply raise your hand to ask your questions, and we’ll address as many as we possibly can.
While we hope the next three days help you build your lists, engage your potential customers,
and convert that audience, this event (like everything we do at MECLABS) can be further
optimized. Share your input by sending me a personal note at Flint.McGlaughlin@MECLABS.com.

The MarketingSherpa Social Marketing ROAD Map
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Social media has created an exciting and challenging world of new possibilities for marketers. But many
marketers are exploring this unfamiliar terrain without a compass – or strategy – to guide them. Captivated by
the hype and the ease of implementing social sites, many are ignoring proven marketing principles. They are
launching social media marketing initiatives by creating blogs, Twitter and Facebook accounts without any plan
or purpose.
However, a momentous change is taking place in the use of social media for marketing purposes. Social
marketing is maturing to the point where the mainstream is now transitioning from the trial-and-error tactical
phase of the learning curve to the strategic phase. Marketers are learning to begin their social marketing
initiatives by researching the medium and monitoring target audiences to determine realistic objectives. Then
they formulate tactical plans and roll-out the social platforms required by the plan.
To help marketers ascend this steep learning curve, they need a practical method for mapping their social media
strategy. They need to develop a coherent process for achieving objectives that can be easily and routinely
performed. MarketingSherpa’s Social Marketing ROAD Map Strategy Training Course was created to fulfill this
need. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to create a tactical plan of action, determine real objectives and decide
a social platform that fits into your marketing architecture.

Panel: Growing Email Lists and Engaging Customers with
Social Media
SESSION DESCRIPTION
Social media is a hot topic in marketing circles, yet many companies are struggling to establish social media
initiatives with concrete, measurable results. During this panel, you will hear how two companies – Freshpair and
Threadless – are successfully integrating their social media and email marketing plans. Afterwards, the panel will
field questions about these case studies and your specific challenges in using social media and email to build lists
and engage customers and prospects.

Working with Responsys, Freshpair dedicated one email message to promote their Facebook page, targeted to their best
customers, most engaged prospects and students. Those who clicked the “Become a Fan” links in the email and on the
Facebook page received a 10% percent discount offer. The email helped Freshpair increase its Facebook fans by 25% and
generated 27x more fans per day than the fan link in promotional emails.
In 2009, Threadless increased revenue by 120% using email and social media. A key component of Threadless’ email strategy
was a “Welcome Email” program that introduced users to an optimized online preference center that allowed consumers
to control and personalize the information they receive from Threadless. The company also sent targeted coupons to new
buyers to encourage repeat purchases and collected customer insights through emailed customer satisfaction surveys.
In addition to email alerts, promotional messages and surveys, Threadless also posts daily Twitter updates and Facebook
status updates to stay engaged with its community of designers, bloggers and buyers. The company currently has more than
1.5 million followers on Twitter from its corporate Twitter handle @Threadless. Celebrating its tenth year, Threadless has an

or outbound marketing? Can email marketing work alongside social media? How can email marketing be used
in the inbound marketing world where we live today? Hear from Mike Volpe, VP Marketing at HubSpot, how his
team used an inbound marketing strategy to attract over 400,000 opt-in email subscribers and learn how email
marketing was a key part of their growth from 10 customers to over 3,500 customers.
