David - thanks. Remarketing is one of the most underutilized areas of email marketing.You can download a remarketing case study on our site - we won several national awards for it.http://www.brightwavemarketing.com/casestudies.php

Matt and Mike - thanks for the comments.Mike, you are correct in that I overstated the Super Bowl's lack of impact. Obviously, driving traffic into Denny's was a win for them and I would like to think that an email campaign could do that but the Super Bowl can't be beat in terms of global visiblity. It does come at a cost though. Most iMedia readers are doing email campaigns and probably only a handful did a Super Bowl ad. Apples to oranges I suppose.
