The man Business Week calls "the ultimate entrepreneur for the Information Age" explains "Permission Marketing" -- the groundbreaking concept that enables marketers to shape their message so that consumers will willingly accept it. Whether it is the TV commercial that breaks into our favorite program, or the telemarketing phone call that disrupts a family dinner, traditional advertising is based on the hope of snatching our attention away from whatever we are doing. Seth Godin calls this Interruption Marketing, and, as companies are discovering, it no longer works. Instead of annoying potential customers by interrupting their most coveted commodity -- time -- Permission Marketing offers consumers incentives to accept advertising voluntarily. Now this Internet pioneer introduces a fundamentally different way of thinking about advertising products and services. By reaching out only to those individuals who have signaled an interest in learning more about a product, Permission Marketing enables companies to develop long-term relationships with customers, create trust, build brand awareness -- and greatly improve the chances of making a sale. In his groundbreaking book, Godin describes the four tests of Permission Marketing: 1. Does every single marketing effort you create encourage a learning relationship with your customers? Does it invite customers to "raise their hands" and start communicating? 2. Do you have a permission database? Do you track the number of people who have given you permission to communicate with them? 3. If consumers gave you permission to talk to them, would you have anything to say? Have you developed a marketing curriculum to teach people about your products? 4. Once people become customers, do you work to deepen your permission to communicate with those people? And in numerous informative case studies, including American Airlines' frequent-flier program, Amazon.com, and Yahoo!, Godin demonstrates how marketers are already profiting from this key new approach in all forms of media.

Baggott, author of the award-winning blog 'Email Marketing Best Practices,' clearly explains how to make your campaigns perform measurably better. The secret's in your test results." —Anne Holland, President, MarketingSherpa "Despite its proven power, email marketing receives a fraction of the attention given to other, fancier media.

Stakeholder thinking in marketing Stakeholder thinking is becoming a core part of marketing as well as other business related disciplines. A search of the business source primmer database found that prior to 1995 there are 58 articles using the term stakeholder in their title and 27 academic marketing related articles with stakeholder as a key term. The interest in stakeholder theory has however grown rapidly, between January 2000 and November 2004 there were 228 articles using stakeholder theory in the title and 140 academic marketing related journal articles that examined stakeholder issues. In fact the American Marketing Association's (AMA, 2004) new definition of marketing expressly incorporates our responsibility to consider how marketing activities impact stakeholders: Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders. Thus the AMA has recognised the core role of stakeholder thinking. While there is an increased interest in stakeholder thinking in marking, an examination of the literature would seem to suggest that there is no unified view of how stakeholder thinking can be or should be integrated into theory or practice. Many of the stakeholder works, marketing and in other disciplines, still focus on the social and ethical impacts of stakeholders. This may have been where much off stakeholder thinking initially gained its prominence, but it is a broader strategic tool that can benefit a range of areas and was in fact the focus of Freeman's (1984) original work in the area. This is not to suggest that the general strategic implications of stakeholder thinking are not being consider, as an increasingly number of works are looking at stakeholder implications in regards to exchange networks, relationship marketing, and other issues related to strategy development. The papers in this special issue have considered a range of varying perspectives including: corporate social responsibility, the impact of interacting with stakeholders, relationship issues, and broader discussions of stakeholder theory as a strategic tool. These papers have taken a diverse range of perspectives including conceptual works, case studies, qualitative approaches, and various empirical approaches to examining the issues of interest within various pieces. The scope of papers included in the special, as well as those not included, identifies the breadth of relevance stakeholder thinking has for the application of all aspects of marketing theory and practice. The question of how stakeholders and stakeholder theory can be considered in organisational activities and marketing theory is an issue that most certainly seems to warrant further consideration. The works in this special issue have advanced this debate and identified some directions that could be conside
