First Annual State of Email Marketing Metrics Survey

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

In an effort to try and bring you current and relevant email marketing information we thought we would share some of the findings from the  First Annual State of Email Marketing Metrics Survey.

Here are some of the top-line results taken from the EmailStatCenter.com

Frequent Measurement is Integral to Success
Over 95% of the individuals surveyed said that they did measure the results of their email campaigns. When asked how often they measured results, 57% of respondents indicated that they measure results 24-48 hours after deployment. However, only 18% indicated that they measured results on an annual basis.

Click Through and Deliverability Rank Tops with Professionals
Professionals ranked click through rate and deliverability as the most important metrics to track. Metrics surrounding total subscribers and forwards were among the lowest ranked metrics in terms of importance.

Metrics Not Widely Used for Budgeting
Only 50% of the email professionals surveyed reported that they use metrics for budgeting and forecasting purposes while 35% of professionals cited that they do not use metrics for budgeting. The remaining 15% were unsure.

Email Experience Council

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

In February I had the pleasure of meeting Jeannie and Ali of the Email Experience Council @ the Marketing Sherpa Email Event in Miami.

What’s great about what these guys, or should I say ladies, or stand corrected and say team, (sorry Chad) is they are bringing a voice to the industry and community that I belong to.

The email industry has been growing for a long time (since 1998 in my book) and has never really had anyone step up to the plate and be the voice of reason behind what can be misconstrued as a crazy, technology filled,  confusing medium of communication.

I applaud, support and wholeheartedly plan to contribute and participate where I can to help these guys succeed. They are a well needed resource!

Great job guys!!!

Don’t forget to check out their site, it has great articles, links and insider email information that we all need.
