Performance-based marketing continues to evolve, but one aspect remains constant: email marketing is one of the highest performing channels. According to HubSpot, “email marketing generates $38 for every $1 spent, an astounding 3,800% ROI, making it one of the most effective options available.” To help performance-based marketers understand how to start or expand their email marketing efforts, we recently spoke with OPTIZMO CRO Jake Dearstyne about the risks and rewards of this lucrative channel and the importance of email compliance.
Jake has been with OPTIZMO since 2010 when he joined co-founders Khris Thayer and Grant Fern to expand OPTIZMO’s reach. During his time at OPTIZMO he has focused on new business development, overseeing customer support, developing strategic partnerships with key companies in the email and digital marketing industry, and now overseeing all revenue-generating and client retention initiatives for the company.
We discussed how CAKE and OPTIZMO partner to help performance marketers, pitfalls to avoid, and opportunities to expand your email marketing campaigns.
