The holiday season is upon us, and I couldn’t think of anything better than to spend 25 consecutive days spreading Email Experience cheer! Since January of this year, I have been on a mission of spreading knowledge about Email Experience Manager (EXM) in the Sitecore Experience Platform. Since the release of version 9.0.1 and beyond, Sitecore has been perfecting their email delivery platform bringing to life a vision first bestowed upon us almost 6 years ago.
As such, I have been preparing a number of EXM related blog posts that will be dispatched over the first 25 Days of December. It’s clear from questions that I have answered on Sitecore Slack and Sitecore Stack Exchange that there isn’t enough readily available information about how to use EXM. Which to me is surprising as the documentation for EXM has been increasing over this past year. That being said, you can never have enough information on the internet from various sources. My hope is that this series becomes a popular resource for developers and marketers alike.
The 25 Days of Sitecore EXM series will cover a wide range of topics tailored for marketers and/or developers depending on the topic. In each posting, I’ll mark sections that I think marketers or developers will get the most out of.
So grab your favorite holiday cup of cheer, eggnog, or cider, sit back, and prepare for twenty-five days of email goodness! But wait there’s more! On December 13th, I’ll be presenting a live webinar, EXM Live! An Email Automation Experience. See below for the full release schedule.
Happy Holidays!
