New Way Marketing received some good news from Internet giant America Online earlier this month.

AOL notified New Way that its web accelerated marketing suite, called WAM, has met guidelines spelled out by legislation designed to regular spam, or unwanted, unsolicited email. It therefore is listed as a “White” list sender by AOL.

“The designation means that WAM customers will be able to more successfully communicate with their in-house list subscribers who are also AOL members without fear of being filtered at the ISP (Internet Service provider) level,” said Marc Pitre, president of New Way Media. “We’ve taken careful technical and procedural steps to make sure that we help our customers be effective email marketers without being categorized as spammers.”

The White list means New Way Media’s tools follow rules for opt-in and unsubscribe requirements.

New lead generator

Customer Connect has developed a lead generation tool that it says can increase responses from trade show appearances.

The firm says its process includes methods for follow-up to leads and then tracking the results. One client showed improvement of almost 500 leads from a recent trade show.

Geoff Ables, the founder of Customer Connect, will also be speaking at the Direct Marketing Association’s B2B Marketing Conference in Scottsdale, AZ on Sept. 23. His topic is: “Supercharge Profits — How To Analyze Your Customer and Prospect Data.”
