According to eMarketer, 86% of digital marketers use email marketing regularly as part of their marketing arsenal to drive sales. Furthermore, email marketing has an incredible 4,300% return on investment and generates $42.08 for every dollar spent (MediaPost). It is no wonder that email marketing has proven time and time again to be the most effective form of digital marketing for brand awareness, customer acquisition and retention.
So you get it… email marketing has great ROI and is the most effective digital marketing channel. But, somehow, your email campaigns aren’t achieving significant open or click through rates. You lay awake at night wondering what the cause is: Design? Messaging? Call to action (CTA)?
You’ve tried everything you can think of, from sending at different times of the day and week, to segmenting your list with the same results: frustratingly low open and click through rates.
