Kohl Children’s Museum Touch A Truck Festival
The post Kohl Children’s Museum Touch A Truck Festival appeared first on HostGator Blog . HostGator fortunately has the opportunity to sponsor some amazing events across the globe. Recently, we had the honor to sponsor the Touch A Truck Family Festival . This event was a wonderful success with over 2,500 people exploring trucks of all shapes and sizes in a secure and safe environment. Not only did our contribution to this event help the Kohl’s Children Museum put on the festival, it will also help them continue their two flagship outreach programs: Early Childhood Connections and Everyone at Play . Through ECC, they provide quality early learning opportunities and educational resources to children, families, and educators from across the Chicago metropolitan area. In addition, their Everyone at Play initiative creates hands-on, developmentally appropriate learning opportunities for children with special needs. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful folks at the Kohl’s Children Museum that do so much to give back to the community. It’s people like them that help keep our world look brighter for our future generations. Images courtesy of http://www.rloconsulting.com web hosting Continue reading

Constant Contact And Email Marketing
The post Constant Contact And Email Marketing appeared first on HostGator Blog . Despite the stigma that surrounds email marketing, due primarily (and justifiably) to “spammers,” this channel remains a valid and profitable avenue for generating leads, sales, and generally just reaching people. Roughly 10% of HostGator customers are Non-Profit businesses, and a recent study shows that these businesses actually get the highest open rates of any industry. An “open rate” is defined, fairly self-explanatorily, as the percentage of email messages that are opened (and presumably viewed) relative to the total number of emails sent out as part of a given email campaign. In other words, people are more likely to open an email sent from a Non-Profit than they are any other type of business. However, email marketing remains one of the best performing and most-effective ways to market a business. The aforementioned study, which was created by Constant Contact , also contains valuable information regarding the optimization of email campaigns and was created via the analysis of over 100 billion customer emails. Constant Contact is an excellent tool for small businesses to execute successful email marketing campaigns. HostGator customers can learn more by visiting this link . web hosting Continue reading
