New features include online surveys and Web forms to capture contact information and feedback marketers in order to build lists, create profiles, improve products and target campaigns; more than 300 industry templates to help create campaigns; and e-mail analytics to track open and click-through rates, sign-ups, sales and domains through a daily e-mail report.

"In e-mail marketing, message frequency is good—but when it's uncoordinated and impersonal, prospects respond by hitting the delete key with equal frequency," said Gartner Research Director Richard Fouts. "Moreover, the current generation of IT buyers has little time and a short attention span, so marketers are getting above the e-mail clutter with audio-video, mobile and social media components in their campaigns."
Fouts said vendors such as Implix that not only help companies implement e-mail and video marketing solutions, but also offer insights and advice on current best practices, could play a central role in this evolution. “Being able to click on a 1-minute video versus reading a page of text is already proving to be an effective strategy for online marketers, and a welcome relief for consumers," he said.
Ellusionist, a portal for international magicians and illusionists, found its marketing solution in Implix’s platform. Ellusionist's staff was among the first to apply for the GetResponse 6.0 beta testing. "The redesigned interface makes it so easy to get around, you get more done in less time," said Ellusionist General Manager Jason Brumbalow. "We were particularly impressed with the video e-mail marketing and online surveys. Our audience is very vocal and visual, so those features fit our needs exactly. We had already achieved a 1,000 percent increase in sign-ups and conversion rates using GetResponse, and we expect to top that with 6.0."
