The Boss' voice says "Thanks for your order Mike and I'll see you Thursday night at eight." Now you have to explain how you spent $83 before breakfast and scroll back up torepparttar top ofrepparttar 121755 email to click "Play" again to demonstraterepparttar 121756 process to her and seerepparttar 121757 toothbrush motion freeze when Bruce Sprinsteen uses your name duringrepparttar 121758 video.

Don't be surprised if you get an email like this withinrepparttar 121759 coming weeks. Personalization, music, video, catalogs localization and overnight delivery for products in your own interest areas will berepparttar 121760 norm withinrepparttar 121761 year as advertisers, marketing companies and business begin usingrepparttar 121762 latest available technology for email. (If you allow it and privacy concerns are addressed sufficiently by businesses adoptingrepparttar 121763 available tools.)

The above technology was highlighted last week atrepparttar 121764 Washington State Convention Center in Seattle by businesses demonstrating atrepparttar 121765 Direct Marketing Association show titled "net.Marketing 2001". The DMA show was halted early by an 11am earthquake that rattledrepparttar 121766 downtown area and shook us all up more thanrepparttar 121767 new technology did. Rock and roll took on a different meaning than that provided byrepparttar 121768 Boss.

But we all emerged unscathed byrepparttar 121769 rumbling of nature to contemplate ways to harnessrepparttar 121770 latest in compression and embedded rich media in email. Privacy concerns will clearly berepparttar 121771 biggest hump to dump if companies expect to use these tools effectively while addressing consumer worries and finding ways to adequately protect sensitive information from third parties.

Here's an email from Ed McMahon and Publishers Clearing House! How long will it take me to get used to celebrities addressing me by my own name and playing my favorite music as background to those personalized videos?
