Hi Geno, good list. There are also several of the email marketing companies on Twitter, such as @Infusionsoft and @ConstantContact. And with a company like Infusionsoft, quite a few of their executives are on Twitter, too, such as @TylerGarns.
– Anita
@Jim: Thanks for chiming in. Glad you like the list. You deserve the inclusion.
@Anita: Excellent additions. Thank you for those!
That is an excellent list Geno!
I would advise all the Email Marketing Tweeps out there to instantly follow all the #emailsnobs in Scott Cohens (@scottcohen13) email snobs list.
And a special mention for @eroi and @dtboyd , they keep making suprizing stuff, growing strong guys!
Hi Geno,
I would suggest John Caldwell @jacaldwell and Peter @allwebemail
Nice to see Scott Hardigree and The Email Guide made the list.
@jkrohrs and @mostew – the brains behind Subscribers, Fans, and Followers for ExactTarget.
Thanks for including me among such fine company, Geno. There are definitely some great email marketing conversations happening on Twitter.
@ Jordie, Chris, and Jake: Great suggestions! Will make sure they all appear in the next edition of my Top Digital Marketers to Follow on Twitter list. 😉
@ Chad: You deserve it. Keep on tweeting!!
I started researching this whole email marketing and newsletter space because of a couple of posts by Jason Baptiste (@jasonlbaptiste). He may not be a devoted email marketing expert but the posts on his blogs regarding email marketing are outstanding and insightful.
Great list, Geno! Thanks. I found some new leaders to follow.
I would recommend @andrewbonar, but this list is pretty much spot on!
@Mike: You’re most welcome. Glad you’ve found it of use. I know you (as many other affiliates) do emails, and regardless of stereotypes any marketer has a lot to master when it comes to email marketing.
@Jay: Thank you for the suggestion, and for the compliment.
don’t forget @sendgrid (http://sendgrid.com)! — an up and coming transactional email service that helps get your email to the inbox.
thanks for sharing, geno!
Thanks for the include Geno. Very much appreciated!
Sure thing, Scott
Thanks so much for the great list. I just added a bunch of these folks to my Twitter lists and to my follow lists. Would love to also be on the list as @MessageSherpa.
I run a new ESP called MessageSherpa that has a point-and-click interface, pulls in RSS feeds, YouTube videos, etc. automatically, and simply makes it as easy as possible to manage content for email newsletters and promotions. We like to call it an eCMS.
In any case, I’d love to be added to the list, I just wanted to share my background first. 🙂
Geno, this was a very helpful list! Although, my company is looking to hire an expert in the NYC area who can come to our office to provide some expert advice on email opening rates – would you be able to recommend anyone? Thanks!
Sure, Elli. Talk to Hunter Boyle of AWeber. He is in Philadelphia, but if he can’t help you, he’ll be able to refer you to someone. If you need an email intro, let me know too.
Geno,
Thank you so much for getting back to me – I really appreciate it and will let you know!
