Email marketing benchmarks

Email marketing benchmarks. What is a good response rate?

Email_marketing_benchmarksWhat constitutes a good response rate? is a subjective question. For example, which is better?:

  • 0.01% response: 1 contact from your list of 10000 who delivers lots of business to you
  • 10% response: 1000 people who just want to take up your free offer but will never buy

Obvious really but it does illustrate that quality is at least as important as quantity. However it does beg the question: What is a good response rate? How may people should you expect to open your carefully crafted message? What are meaningful email marketing benchmarks? Probably less than you think! As well as being a great feature of email marketing, the fact that you can track opens, clicks, bounces and unsubscribes also lays bare the reality of how much penetration your message actually makes. With Direct Mail, you never really know how many get thrown straight in the bin – and ignorance is definitely bliss! Email marketing benchmarks are notoriously difficult to pin down as there are so many variables. I think it is better to take available data and then use common sense and your own knowledge of your own business to draw conclusions appropriate for you. Subscription email marketing SWAS (software as service) company Sign-Up-To has, for the past few years, produced annual reports giving an overview of email marketing response rates across industry. the report makes interesting reading.

I combine professional marketing qualifications and experience with a solid understanding of real business to discuss and advise on building business relationships and market awareness, generating leads using effective marketing communication in a down-to-earth, no jargon way. As well as discussing plans and strategies I am keen to 'get my hands dirty'. I work with my clients to make sure things happen! I also have a good understanding of the technical/web aspects of marketing which clients find a real benefit. Technology is a means, NOT an end. My focus is working with business owner/managers, £500K to £10m turnover, to plan, implement and sustain effective market communication and brand awareness as a platform for targeted sales development and business growth.
