Survey: Top five online marketing promotions
The Shop.org / BizRate 2003 eHoliday Mood study produced some interesting results.
The top 5 marketing promotions that have been most successful in driving business for the holiday period are; free ship with conditions (59%), online only sale (27%), free ship no conditions (24%), offline-online sale (22%), and free gift with purchase (14%).
When asked what promotion vehicle has been most successful in driving business, the response was their own email promotion (86%) (?), search engine marketing (58%), affiliate marketing (50%), catalog drops (37%), and portal shopping listing (17%).

Given the extremely high levels of email spam that are rampant everywhere these days, the opposite would have in fact been largely expected.
