Businesses in 2023 have embraced email marketing as one of the most effective tools for content delivery and marketing offers. Procuring a new email address requires resources; hence, it is essential to comprehend the return on investment. Once the value of each email address to business becomes apparent, the stage is set for sustainable growth and enhanced profitability.
A rudimentary approach to determining the value of an email address to a business is through the simple method of revenue from emails divided by the number of deliverable email addresses. However, this method is somewhat oversimplified and doesn’t take into account the numerous variables that can greatly impact revenue generation.
To accurately calculate the revenue generated from your emails, compile a list of all the possible avenues through which your business makes a profit through email. This includes ad revenue from both content emails and the web traffic spurred by an email campaign, direct sales from products, subscriptions, and events, as well as affiliate sales and lead generation. Furthermore, data obtained from surveys can be an invaluable source of income. Calculations might not be absolute, but reasonable estimates often suffice in providing a rough yet invaluable picture.
The shelf life of an email address is also a crucial consideration in this complex equation. The definition of an ‘active email address’ fluctuates, but generally refers to an address that engages and interacts with the emails sent. Gauging how long an email address remains active on your list can provide insight into potential future earnings. However, this calculation has its own smattering of influencing factors, making it a task that is easier said than done.
Businesses may sometimes shy away from scrutinising their email list due to the complexity of the analysis. Segmenting email addresses, deciding between list price or the lifetime value of subscription sales or customer when estimating revenue can be perplexing. It’s important to avoid falling into “analysis paralysis” where overanalyzing results in inaction. Rather, it’s beneficial to take rational steps and make educated projections.
Understanding the value of email addresses allows businesses to tailor their email marketing strategies most effectively. By considering the email value calculation, the revenue potential of each active email address, and the overall lifespan of these addresses, a business can optimize its return on investment. This understanding of email value directly results in improved lead generation and boosted affiliate sales.
The art of unlocking email profits may seem daunting at first, but it is a crucial prowess to master in the modern business environment. Calculating the value of an email address and tweaking your strategies accordingly could be the missing piece in your business puzzle.
In our interconnected world, where email reigns as a dominant form of communication, this granular knowledge of their function and worth is key to long-term success. So, embark on this journey of understanding, and unlock the vault to prime your business for exponential growth.
Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
