Dear #12NTC - The NTC concluded last night, and then began the fun (and I am not being sarcastic here) of answering the question, "How'd it go?" Since those both happened, it was easy for us to run the show and spend more time on the floor with our favorite part of the conference - you. This is the most fun I have had at the NTC!"

As you implement simple segmentation strategies, don't be afraid to test different messaging within the same group of people to see what gets the strongest response. With the automation in most e-mail systems now, you can trigger these reminders to personalize and go out automatically. This is just a taste of what segmentation is all about.
