EMday is organized by an association
Since 2013, EMDay has been energetically supported by an association which brings together the best French email marketing experts. (See Members).
Our common goal is to give a better image of emailing in order to make professionals want to use it more (and well).
To get there we do 2 things:
1/ Raise awareness of good practices in the ecosystem, particularly large players.
Compliance with best practices seems essential to us to preserve end users' interest in the email channel. And since we all work in one way or another with emailing, we want it to continue!
2/Introduce emailing to those who do not yet use it, particularly VSEs
Passionate and experts in email marketing, we are convinced that it is a fantastic communication and sales tool. And we want it to be useful to our small local SMEs to sustain and develop their activity.
A big event once a year
EMDay was born in Alsace, in Strasbourg.
The first 6 editions took place there, then headed to Paris for 3 editions in Cely. Before returning to Alsace for the 10th anniversary edition. You can see the summary of previous editions here.
But be careful, EMDay is not yet another “trade show” like the others:
-
the speakers intervene because they are relevant, not because they “bought a conf”
-
the participants are business experts, not salespeople who come to hunt
-
partners are limited in number, we only choose those who make sense
-
everyone is accessible with joy and good humor
Actions all year round
With the association we also organize regional micro-events, led in turn by one of our members. The idea here is more to make good email marketing practices known to “non-experts”.
Along the same lines, we sometimes publish content (podcast, summary of best practices) to introduce people to the email marketing channel.
an association to MAKE IT DIFFERENTLY
Our status as an association does not require us to make a profit at the end of the year, but simply to balance the association's accounts. We therefore favor quality over quantity..
This is for example why each year, during our annual event, the number of places is limited. This is also what does not allow us to be truly neutral in our content.
All with 2 values that are dear to us and we try to infuse them into our actions: conviviality and eco-responsibility.
To stay informed of our activities, the easiest way is (obviously) to subscribe to our newsletter.
