A Note to Readers Most Memorable MarketingProfs Greetings, discerning readers! Holiday greetings, that is. This week, we have a very special issue of MarketingProfs. It's our last issue of the year, and in it are some of the most memorable articles from 2004. It's impossible to distill a year's worth of content – or about 350 articles – down to a mere single issue's worth. But for various reasons, these seven articles are don't-miss pieces from the past year. They were hand-picked by various members of the MarketingProfs staff as well as readers like you. Enjoy the holiday season and, as always, don't hesitate to contact me. As always, your feedback is both welcome and encouraged! See you in 2005! Ann Handley

Is Your Company CAN-SPAM Compliant? Every law has its first fall guy. It’s only a matter of time before CNN broadcasts the first CAN-SPAM perp walk. Although targeted at those whose activities were already questionable under existing laws, the CAN-SPAM Act may ensnare legitimate businesses as well, especially small businesses with no compliance experience.
