    ETHYL GASOLINE
    February 2, 1923 - General Motors Research Laboratories U.S.A.

    The first sale was made of anti-knock gasoline containing a tetra-ethyl lead compound. First sold at Willard Talbott's service station on S. Main Street in Dayton, Ohio, the fuel was called Ethyl (after its new additive, tetraethyl lead) and colored a distinctive red. This new formulation of ethyl gasoline was the the result of seven years of testing at least 33,000 compounds as additives to influence the combustion rate of the fuel. Previously, on hard acceleration, an engine sometimes made knocking, popping or crackling sounds. Knocking sapped power and could damage the engine. The suitability of tetra-ethyl lead, made from alcohol and lead, was the discovery of Thomas Midgely, Jr., of the General Motors Research Laboratories, located in Dayton. Decades later, the toxicity of the lead present in automobile emissions was recognized, and leaded gasoline is no longer sold.

    BABE RUTH
    February 2, 1936 - Baseball Hall of Fame

    Babe Ruth was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame on this day. He was a famous major league baseball player for the Boston Red Sox (1914-1919) and then the New York Yankees (1920-1934). He also played for the Boston Braves (now Atlanta Braves) during his last year as a player in 1935. During Ruth's career, he had achieved much, for instance, he ranked 3rd on the all-time home run list. Part of the reason why is because he achieved a record of 60 home runs in the year 1927. Babe Ruth was also the only player to hit three home runs in two World Series appearances (1926 and 1928).

    about Stolen On New Year's

    More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?)

Email marketing and your website :

Choose Your Color :

ARTICLE INFORMATION :

Your email should contain appropriate phrases that will get people to do what you want which, in this case, is to click on a link. Be creative with the anchor text of the link to encourage people to click on it.

ARTICLE CONTENT :

Email marketing is that type of promotion that can bring you profit at very low price. It brings result but you do not have to spend much money on the strategies. Probably it is one of the cheapest marketing strategies available in the market. But one drawback of this type of business promotion is spamming. Whenever you hear this word one word automatically enters in your mind and that is spam. And for this very reason a good businessman always shy away from this type of promotion activity. But the fact is that spam and email marketing is not similar but in actuality these to are completely different and not using it as part of your marketing campaign could prove to be a mistake because it does bring results and is one of the cheapest marketing strategies available.

Now we will discuss how one can be benefited from email marketing. The first one is you have to determine your target audience. Sending mass email indiscriminately can indeed get some peoples attention but almost everyone knows that it is a spam. And therefore this type of marketing can ultimately bring you no concrete profit. So it is a big no no. The most effective people to email would be existing customers/subscribers. Referred leads are also good targets of email marketing. But always remember though that whether you email existing customers or potential clients you should always put an easy way for people to unsubscribe from the mailing list.

The second one is you have to be sure that the email gets noticed. It is always best to put the company name or website name under the mail to let the recipient know who the email is from at a glance. Put the most important info on the subject line but make sure you keep it short. Use your subject like a way that can make your subjects attractive and not boring. And not only should this work but it also gives an indication as to the content of the email.

Informative content of your email will attract your subscriber?s attention. So make sure that your customers have a valuable content before them which is provided with your email informing them important announcements regarding new things on your website, exclusive promo codes, industry news, informative articles, and even birthday greetings. So if you keep on sending them plain ads then it can also happen that your loyal subscribers will start to ignore your messages only by deleting them even unnoticed.

You have to organize the information about your website. People don?t always read the entire email so make sure you place the most important information you want conveyed at the start of the email. If you are sending an image make sure you still put at least a short text content before the image to get the attention of people whose email service automatically block images from being viewed so that they will want to manually see the image at least. This would not let your image go unnoticed.
