How Do You Know If Your Emails Are Effective?

posted on: November 30th, 2009

Creating an email marketing campaign will take a lot of hard work and experience to be successful. Even though you have been successful in capturing a visitor’s name and email address, you have to work hard at keeping it. When you have decided that your emails are attractive to your intended audience and will be of value, the frequency then has to be determined. If emails are delivered too often, this may be seen as a hard sell and repel the reader. Eventually, after your frequent emails have been clogging up their inbox, they may decide to unsubscribe from your mailing list. That subscriber will be lost to you forever. On the other hand, not enough emails may mean that you don't get a chance to build a reputation or a relationship with the customer. Again, your infrequent emails will eventually be ignored. When an email is delivered how do you know if it has been opened, read or just deleted? Imagine trying to keep track of all this data when you have built a list of thousands. A good email marketing company has the software and technology to track your email marketing campaign and give you results to help you build an even more productive campaign. Here at Click Consult we have the technology to advise you on the best frequency to deliver your emails and also provide you with statistics to help you build on the results.

Tracking is part of email marketing

posted on: September 18th, 2009

Statistics released by Jupiter Research have shown that the number of emails sent out my email marketers has shown an increase of 24% since 2005. The average email marketer sends out approximately 5.2 millions emails each year. From this, it can be seen that email marketers must use specific ways to analyse the results from the enormous number of emails they send out. There are many factors within an email marketing campaign that have to be measured and analysed. The metrics, or statistics such as click through rate, people that unsubscribe, bounce rate and opening rate have to be analysed in depth. This is a daunting task as the internet is an ever-changing marketplace. This leads to the metrics being inconsistent at times. Tracking steps Your tracking software must be top-notch; total reliability is a must and flexibility allows you to do multiple tracking. With the best tracking software you can customize campaigns and build your opt-in lists and track all aspects as you go along. Up-to-date analytical software allows you to see exactly where your email marketing is successful and where not. Get on top of your game and know which statistics tell the best story, for instance click through rates are more important than opening rates. Once you know exactly where your email campaign is gaining ground and bringing your success, you have to act on that. It is crucial that you act, for instance, if your analysis shows a growing rate of people unsubscribing. You need to track, analyse and act. That is the only way to keep your email campaign on track and be successful.
