This week I have the honor of presenting the keynote speech at the DMA UK's Email Customer Lifecycle: List Growth event in London, opening the first Email Experience Council's international event in Barcelona, and delivering the keynote for the EM+C Virtual Trade Show with a talk titled, "Email Marketing by the Numbers."

While preparing for these events, I found myself organizing my thoughts into lists of topics and best practices. When I finished, I realized I had created some really useful lists.

This week's column shares just a few. To get the full impact, tune in, or come to any of these three events. Even if you can't make these events, you can still learn a bit this week just by reading these lists.
