Advertising Through Email

During an email campaign address to your clients, members or mailing list subscribers it is also necessary to monitor it and know when your emails are actually read.

The "Email Marketing Use and Trends Report: H1 2004" created upon the information collected from the MailerMailer's 70 million clients, provided the following:

1. Email checking

The same day you send the email - This is when most of your targeted audience (80%) will receive and read your email. 95% of your target audience will receive and read your email after 6 days of delivery.

2. Failed Email

Sending out a email can fail : when one of your subscribers changed his/her's email address without letting you know, if the email is marked as spam or if the email server of one of your subscriber(s) is not responding or it's offline.

A recent study proved that the failure rate when sending the first 5 emails to your subscribers is 6,6%, after you delete the invalid email addresses from your mailing list the failure rate when down to 3,9%.

Sending an email to government institutions will have a smaller failure rate (2.41%), e-commerce companies (3.8%) and real estate agencies (4.19%).

3. Opening and viewing the email

It is already known and proved that sending an email to government institutions, telecommunication companies, eCommerce companies, real estate agencies, have the highest receiving and reading rate. Most of them receive and read your email within the first 48 hours.

Also, emails sent on Monday's have a bigger receiving & reading rate compared to the other days of the week.

4. Link clicked

Emails containing links were accessed in a proportion of 4,27%.

Even if a small number of emails are sent during the weekend, the ones that were sent on Saturday (5.11%) and the ones sent on Sunday (5.54%) were received and read more often than those sent during the week. At the same time, emails with a personalized subject were opened and read by more people than those that just had personalized content or those that were not personalized at all.

Be smart when sending out emails. Creating and maintaining a mailing list can be a very effective tool that you can use when running a website or an online business.

5 Essential Elements of Profitable Sites

5 Essential Elements of Profitable Sites What technology tools do successful websites use? Remember that a website is a store front; itís your customer service rep, delivery guy and your marketing department rolled up into one. ìWe are openî People donít enter stores that have a closed sign at the door. (Well, some do, but you know, we are talking about the law abiding kind here.) Nothing says Closed louder on a website than old content: old date references and postings. So one of the best things you can do is to get a script that keeps the current date front and center for your visitors. You don't have to update it everyday ñ it does it all by itself. Now that people think you are home, and open for business, they may inquire about your product. You must have a customer service desk. This can take the form of a form where they fill out their name and email. It can be to simply subscribe to your newsletter or they may have a specific question. If you want to hav...

Facebook: $750 Million in Hand Worth More than $2 Billion in Sky

It came up conversationally, but I believe Iím the only person at my company to have firsthand experience as a user of Facebook.com. It was kind of funny to have all these online advertising professionals asking me all about the website everybody used in college. Didnít they get the memo? Iím new. I should be asking the questions around here. The subject of Facebook.com is an interesting one thatís worth a closer look. Without question, 2005 was the year of MySpace. Before Rupert Murdochís $580 million social networking venture took the interactive world by storm, itís difficult to believe that even the most optimistic of the billionaireís lackeys would have predicted that new acquisition would more than quadruple its reach within a matter of months. With 23.5 billion page views by February, MySpace became the second most trafficked site on the Internet. Murdochís success naturally generated buying interest in anything deemed online s...

Blogging: Let's Get You Started

1 - Fresh topics are important to keep your blog readership interested, and now we're going to discuss just how you can do that. What are you going to write about? It should be a topic that you're passionate about or are at the very least interested in. If you've chosen blogging as your new career, then you don't want to torture yourself by writing about something that you have zero interest in, otherwise you might as well return to that mundane job you just quit! Feelings and emotions show through your writing, so your readers will notice any indifference you may have toward a certain topic that you find boring. Don't forget the advice about writing with a personality. Forced writing will not establish you in the world of blogging at all. Once you've chosen your main theme -- or if it has chosen you, then that's even better -- start posting to your blog and try to get into the habit of doing that at least once every day. It doesn't always ne...
