Email Marketing is Dead.
Long Live Email Marketing.
How many times have you heard the death knell for email marketing? The truth is it’s never been stronger; it just requires more sophisticated techniques to maximise its vast potential.
When done right, it delivers powerful results with a very high return on investment, typically generating returns in excess of 40:1.
Chances are you already knew that, so how can we help you provide the email marketing returns your product deserves?
Email marketing is fast, cheap and highly profitable, and the ultimate relationship and brand-building tool.
It enables your customers to consistently engage with you and your products, telling you exactly what they want in the data you harvest from their behaviour. No other strategy compares in keeping the conversation going between you and your audience, and we’ll power and maintain this essential dialogue.
The Digital Marketing Association suggests that 66% of customers purchase as a result of an email marketing message. A McKinsey report indicates that email is 40 times more effective than Facebook and Twitter combined in helping businesses reach new customers.

We are commited to protecting your personal information
Email marketing is a process of promoting products and services to existing and potential customers via email. It exists in every sector and is an easy and often cost-effective means of communicating efficiently and consistently.
Email marketing allows you to maintain and grow your customer base by reaching out with information. This is either about your products and services or content that develops and accentuates your brand. It’s straightforward, easy to use and an excellent way of reaching any customer, with over 4 billion of the world’s population owning at least one email address.
A hard bounce is when an email cannot be delivered to an email address permanently. It comes when the emailing process in your email marketing software returns an error. It’s usually due to an invalid or no longer active email address.
A soft bounce is when an email cannot be delivered to an email address for a temporary reason. It can be for a number of reasons, with some of the most common including the email size is too large, the server may be down, or the recipient’s inbox is full.
A well-thought-out Email Marketing strategy allows you to develop relationships with your existing customers while growing your audience. It’s an effective and inexpensive way of distributing information around your products and services, which can increase leads and conversions.
We build all our reporting around our partners’ needs, focusing on the Email Marketing metrics that align with their stated goals and objectives. This is also reflected in the frequency with which we report, but typically we provide weekly and monthly reporting alongside quarterly reviews which provide further detail.
Tracking the success of your email marketing should be done on the metrics which matter to you as a business. The most important metrics include open rate, click-through rate, conversion rate and the number of unsubscribes. These are all forms of interactions (positive and negative) that your customer takes upon receiving your email.
