eBay Enterprise Marketing Tips: The New Gmail Inbox
By Anne Koskey-Wagoner on Wednesday, August 14, 2013
Recently, Gmail rolled out a new default inbox across desktop and mobile versions. The new inbox groups mail into categories, which appear in different tabs: Primary Inbox, Social, Promotions, Updates, and Forums. Upon converting users to the new inbox, Gmail makes decisions on which tab emails would be categorized into.
This means most marketing emails will be routed into the Promotions tab. Users can change how emails are categorized; they can also hide and unhide the tabs they view. If a user removes a tab, those emails will be sent to the Primary inbox. Users who experience a misplaced email can simply drag and drop to the correct folder and Gmail will remember that preference for the future. Users who do not have an iOS or Android 4+ device will see their inbox as they did before when viewing on their device. For iOS users, only the Gmail Application will show the new inbox (iMail will not).

Forrester Research, Inc.: GSI Commerce Becomes eBay Enterprise - Why This Is More Than Just a Re-branding Exercise
By eBay Enterprise on Monday, July 15, 2013
In a June 21, 2013 blog post by Peter Sheldon, Forrester Research principal analyst for eBusiness, shares his thoughts on why eBay Enterprise, the new name for GSI Commerce, is more than just a rebranding exercise for eBay Inc. While eBay has traditionally been a consumer-focused business, he writes, the new enterprise name "signifies that eBay is now deadly serious about providing a holistic suite of enterprise technology and services to leading retailers and brands beyond their core Marketplace and PayPal payment services."
Welcome eBay Enterprise
By Chris Saridakis on Thursday, June 20, 2013
Two years ago GSI Commerce joined eBay Inc., unlocking greater opportunity and potential for us and for our clients. Today GSI becomes eBay Enterprise. It's our new name as one of eBay Inc.'s three main business units. And it best captures our business today: a strong enterprise commerce partner of choice for retailers and brands, backed by the full capabilities of eBay Inc., a global commerce platform and payments leader.
Technology is enabling a commerce revolution. Consumer expectations are rapidly changing. And retailers and brands must rapidly innovate to drive consumer engagement and loyalty. Commerce today is omnichannel – able to occur seamlessly across any connected screen or physical store environment. Competing and winning requires integrated solutions and new tools and approaches.

The busiest weeks of the year for the email channel drove engagement for retail
By Andrea Orvis, e-Dialog on Tuesday, December 18, 2012
Cyber Monday was once again a record-breaking day for U.S. online sales, with transactions totaling $1.46 billion according to comScore (+17% over 2011)1. We saw consistently high retail email volume – equal to Thanksgiving week. Email frequency tapered off with only 11% of clients sending five or more messages compared to 32% in Thanksgiving week. With so much email earlier than ever before, customers responded. Chase Paymentech2 data indicated a spike in transactions Sunday night as many brands started their Cyber Monday sales early. The email channel worked extremely hard given the increased volume during the two big shopping weeks. Cyber week click and open rates were up by more than 10% from Thanksgiving week and revenue per net delivered stayed strong.
We saw a number of clients see success sending pre-sale and preview campaigns starting Sunday instead of Cyber Monday. These campaigns had less competition in the inbox and drove the highest revenue per net delivered of the week.
