What would 100,000 views on a blog post mean to you? Depending on the goals of your blog, it could mean thousands of new subscribers and fans. But it could also mean new customers — big traffic means big exposure and big exposure means big growth. We've been publishing content at Groove for the last five years.

With Email Deliverability Comes A Huge Responsibility With Email Deliverability Comes A Huge Responsibility Posted: 30 Nov 2016 06:00 AM PST I am privileged to manage global deliverability, across all Oracle Marketing Cloud properties.

You always send campaign traffic to a dedicated landing page. You make data-driven decisions. You do post-mortems on all your campaigns and record your learnings.
