How to Measure Email Marketing Success and ROI- Analysis of Key MetricsMakesbridge
Email marketing is an incredible channel to reach potential clients and maximize existing client base. But 2/3 of the campaigns prove to be inefficient. Why?
Given the fact that modern marketer wear multiple caps and are liable for many moving parts of their marketing mix, it’s simple for your email marketing data to become mixed up in all the metrics and KPI’s you need to watch out for.
As a result you won’t be able to measure success of a particular segment and may result in losing sight of the actual return on the investment. Measurement is the way to showing success. It’s the only way a marketer gauges progress, results, and actual return on investment.
In this post, we're trying to help marketers measure their marketing success and determine actual return on marketing investments.
On February 24th, Three Hats Marketing will host an Email Marketing Workshop. In this 2-1/2 hour workshop, we will demonstrate how a fictitious company goes through the entire process of email marketing from defining the strategy through the execution. We will walk you through, step-by-step addressing all of the issues your company should consider including:
* Strategy and Goals for your email marketing program
* Initial and on-going distribution list building techniques
* Designing and building engaging email templates
* Creating good content
* Creating landing pages to increase conversions
* List segmentation and results measurement
* and more!
