A "Must Read" for "Getting Up to Speed"

When I bought E-mail Marketing for Dummies, I was totally clueless about how to launch an e-mail campaign. Fortunately, John Arnold does a very good job of demystifying the entire process of e-mail marketing. Arnold communicates in very simple terms and uses jargon sparingly but strategically. In addition, Arnold breaks the e-mail marketing process down into small, step-by-step pieces, all of which are easy to grasp. Arnold also discusses how your e-mail marketing strategy should be integrated with your overall marketing strategy, so that your brand's value in the eyes of your contact are not compromised. Hence, Arnold demonstrates that the principles of marketing apply just as much online as they do offline. By the time I finished reading E-mail Marketing for Dummies, I was talking like a pro, and had a million ideas of how I would conduct my first e-mail campaign, and was very confident I could make it a great success. I highly recommend E-mail Marketing for Dummies if you need to become an e-mail marketing expert in a hurry.
